Will DVD players be too obsolete to repair?

With the advent of the Blu-ray disc and Blu-ray disc players, will DVD players be too obsolete to repair?

Answer
It's not a question of obsolescence, DVD players are just like most consumer electronics ... they cost so little for all but top level models that repair is uneconomical. In general, it isn't worth fixing anything significant on ANY consumer electronics component that cost less than $300 or so ... and even then it's questionable. It's a question of cost of the repair (likely more than $100 for almost anything) and the fact that new models often cost less and work better than what they replace.

Blu-Ray...?

I want to buy the HP Pavilion dv9830us, which is only sold in the US. I have a relative who is there now, and wants to buy it to bring it back to the UK but we are not sure if the Blu-Ray player will only play NTSC.

We really want this for the Blu-Ray player to play PAL disks..

and suggestions/advice?

Thank you..

Answer
Although i was not able to find a specific answer from HP's website on this exact player. I did find some language that hinted that their drives will allow you to change the region code up to a maximum of four times, once the fourth change is made that region code will be hard wired into the drive and you will be responsible for the repair cost to fix such a region code freeze if it does occur. Hope this helps
