DVD players finally outnumber VCRs

Although DVD players dropped below the magic $100 barrier some time ago, they have only just caught up with the VCR, according to Nielsen. The media tracking firm says that DVD player ownership has finally surpassed VCR ownership for the first time.

It’s about time! They mention that DVD players cost less than $100 nowadays, but at our local supermarkets you’d be hard pressed to find one that’s not around $30. Sure, they are cheap in every sense, but they are helping eradicate VCRs that much sooner.
