Damned fools.

Very dissapointing news, this, even though I don't live anywhere near China.

If I did, I'd never favour those players with the bonafide 'DVD' logo, and would support only those manufacturers who still had the sense to independently stand their ground.

I'd even pay a *premium* to those manufacturers who weren't stupid enough to succumb to these trite offerings, just for the priviledge of owning a machine made by people who still have a few ba##s.
