Thanks marcello!

Thanks Lon! That's an enticing offering.

Funny you should say that, Pete. My Sony was ca. $35. The Amazon reviews indicated that it had a high failure rate at the six-month point, so for $10 I bought a Square Trade three-year warranty. I'm happy.

Any links for these?

OK, Pete. There is a website called regionfreedvd.net that sells what we are talking about. They sell a number of brands including Sony.

Was there a previous thread about this title? Yes! Thanks for reminding me. Here it is:

I bought a Sony during the summer. Can I do this with that too, or is it only good for a Philips?

Here are the teams and the kickoff times of the playoff games through the Grey Cup. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/football/cfl-playoff-schedule/article2227356/ ***** Here are the 2011 final standings published on at least two web sites, so presumably as distributed by the league. You will notice that Edmonton is listed as in third place, when in fact they finished second. http://stats.sports.theglobeandmail.com/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=globeandmail&page=cfl/stand/standingAJ.htm ***** Here are the 2011 final stats. http://64.246.64.33/merge/tsnform.aspx?c=sportsnetwork&page=cfl/stat/CFL_Leaders.aspx

I thought the Packers have the best record. Still, it was a surprise to me when I noticed a week ago how well the Niners are doing.
