This fine machine is the newest addition to my home entertainment system. Some very nice features of this machine can be found in its loophole menu/secret menu. Once you get to this menu you can change the machine's regional coding, turn off macrovision, and do several other things.

Supposedly the next version of these machines will not have the loophole/secret menu. Also they supposedly pulled all the machines to upgrade the software to remove it. But I just picked one up Saturday April 15, 2000 from Circuit City and it still has the special features.

Besides the loopholes it isn't a bad player either. It performs well and only has a few minor flaws. And the cost really makes it attractive.
