 Stopped working two months after purchase January 3, 2009

I bought the Colby DVD player only in October 2008 and it stopped working two months after I bought it. Yes, its super cheap, but it should have certainly lasted longer. And, since the player died two months after the purchase, I couldn't get a refund from Amazon, as they have a 30-day return policy. Almost all stores have a similar policy but if an electronic item stops working within six months, stores like Target, Fred Myers replaces it. I think Amazon needs to rethink its policies.

Its true what they say you do get what you pay for. When i first got this player, 8months ago, the remote didn't work, but since i had a universal remote control i didn't let that bother me. 7(1/2) months later after mild usage, it stopped working. When i tried the playback while watching a dvd just a couple weeks ago it just went blank on me. I guess it stopped reading the dvd but i wouldn't know since it didn't even have an error message. After that it wouldn't even open to let me retrive the dvd inside and i had to yank it out.
What a waste of money December 23, 2008

We bought this item on September 1st. As of mid-December, it was dead. It won't power up no matter what we try, and since it's past Amazon's return window, and Coby's crummy warranty is only 90 days, we're left with $27 we flushed down the toilet.
It may be cheap, but you get what you pay for! In the past I've always gone with better brand electronics and paid more for companies with a good reputation. Since this was for an extra machine in our bedroom, I went cheap, and now I'm regretting it!
Spend the extra $20-50 and get a Sony or something else.

Love this little machine, small and with a PAL feature as well, I can't ask for more.
Don't buy this! December 21, 2008
I bought this DVD player about 3 weeks ago. It was working fine until it just died. I played a movie for my son, it ended so I took the DVD out shut it off. Now, it won't turn back on. I can't return it because my son used the box to play in. Don't waste your money! Now, I have to buy another so what I thought was a cheap option has gotten more expensive than needed.
