You're an idiot. Players are cheap right now.
Far cheaper than CD players and VHS players and Cassette players and
Turntables were in the '70s and '80s and '90s, back when the dollar was a
lot harder to gain large numbers of. And we had those components in our
collections of gear, nonetheless.
Consumer electronics these days is dirt cheap.
I can't believe you retards go out and pay hundreds of dollars for your
iPUD piece of shit MP3 player but can't see where the value in a well
made high end A/V product like an HD format disc player is at.
Or you idiots that go out and pay hundreds of dollars PER WHEEL for
rims and a couple hundred dollars per wheel for shit 30,000 mile low
profile tires for your piece of shit cars.
Stop pissing and moaning. The shit ain't free, punk. If you want to
play, you have to pay. You thieving little retarded bastards should be
shot in the public square. Maybe then, the rest of you dopes would get
it.
