Well, I thought of doing that too, getting a portable DVD player.. then I 
found out laptops were cheaper, and could play more formats.. so I got the 
laptop instead.
Now I can view just about anything I can download from the internet.
Much better on long trips.. and you can rip DVD's to WMV or DVIX formats 
which means they take up less space, like MP3's.
