Whilst all eyes might be on Blu-ray players now, DVD players still have a lot to offer, and the big brands are still making absolutely cracking players, at increasingly better value prices. Even if you already own a quality Blu-ray player, it still makes sense to keep a decent DVD player as well. Not only are they cheap to buy, and quicker to start than most Blu-ray playersm but they also have amazing upscaling qualities these days, meaning you can drag every last drop of quality out of your DVD collection without replacing it with Blu-ray discs. If your movie collection also includes discs from other regions, it is also a good idea to keep a multiregion DVD player handy when you want to watch that classic Region 1 version of Saving Private Ryan. They also make a good choice if you havbe children around - you're less likely to wince when your eight year old nephew attempts to put his latest 'Ben 10' DVD into the DVD player than if he attepmted the same on your £300 Blu-ray player!
