Panasonic DVD-XP30 DVD Player

Pros: absolutely beautiful picture
Cons: poor info display; relatively long layer switch time

I'm not certain I've had my Panasonic XP-30 long enough to provide as detailed a review as I'd like, but I'm concerned that it's no longer in production. If I wait too long, reviews may be pointless.

The Panasonic XP-30 is one of three DVD...

Pros: Second player appears to work fine.
Cons: Took 3 phone calls(and waits) to find out Panasonic wouldn't be responsive to this issue.

Watch out for Panasonic's Blockbuster card rebates. It takes them longer to send you the cards than they're good for. The cards I got were good for only 5 weeks. If you're like us, and only rent a few movies a month, you'll end up getting stuck without being able to use them.

By the way, don't waste your time going back to Blockbuster or Panasonic. They won't fix the issue, even though they continue to offer the same rebate cards (for other products).

One final note, we had rented a movie and the popcorn was warm when my family discovered that the first Panasonic DVD player we brought home was DOA. You might want to make sure it works at the store before you bring it home for a disappointment.
