From the category archives:
The Sony DVP-NS955 DVD player, recently released in the UK, has 50% vegetable-based plastic parts.
The parts are made of a biopolymer called polylactic acid (PLA). The biopolymer was created by Cargill/Dow, and they have been criticized for using GMO (genetically modified) corn to create the biopolymer, because GMO crops could potentially have devastating effects on the earth’s biodiversity.

Reviewers say this Panasonic is the best entry-level DVD Player, with intuitive menus, easy setup, and excellent progressive-scan picture quality.
It has a 4:3 shrink function that zooms in on letterboxed movies to fit your non-widescreen TV. It also has built-in Dolby and DTS decoders, along with support for 5.1-channel surround sound.
This is the best choice for those who want a no-frills player that handles slightly scratched DVDs as well as MP3 CDs, audio CDs and home-burned DVD-R discs. It is priced around $100.
