Oh, I'm planning on separate ones now. It seems I have no choice after endless searching
on the net for what I wanted to have and no one does.

I just really hate the f*ck*ng thought of all those extra cables connecting everything to
everything and trying to fit two new devices into limited space.

I was going to buy the Phillips DVP-642 today. It was supposedly available in 5 of the 7
Best Buy stores around the area I live. By the time I was done trying to order it online
for same day pick-up, it turned out not a single one had it in stock.

I suspect they list online just about EVERYTHING Best Buy carried as being available in
every store. It's ONLY when someone asks for it that they record they don't (and likely
never did) have it.
