Page 1 of Scoop!! - Fisher Price DVD player now available

....now in stock at Toy`s R Us - the Alba 103!!!!!

It has many features, but in true Fisher Price style they don`t work. Let`s have a look at some of them!!

1) A splendid region select menu that does sweet FA.

2) A remote that by the time you`ve found the right button the film has finished.

3) A comprehensive user manual that really has concern for your safety - and not much else;

Here are just one or two of those great safety tips,

"Do not allow the DVD unit to get wet, i.e. dripping or splashing, as this MAY be dangerous" - and there I was just about to watch Gladiator from the comfort of my bath!!

"Make sure that no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, are placed on top of the DVD unit" - bang goes my Satan worshipping session whilst watching The Exorcist.

"Use of the controls or procedures other than those specified within this manual may result in hazardous radiation exposure" - so removing the laser mechanism and aiming it at our Guinea Pigs may cause them ill health?

....and finally, no manual is complete without that essential and comprehensive `Troubleshooting` section!! - the top five are;

at 5 - "No Power - Ensure the equipment is connected properly"

at 4 - "No Sound - Ensure the equipment is connected properly"

at 3 - "No Picture - Ensure the equipment is connected properly"

at 2 - "Remote Control does not function - Ensure their are no barriers between the remote control and the unit" - what, like a brick wall and the front door when I`m in the garage - s***, now they tell me?

and at No 1, the all time favourite, "Disc cannot be played - Ensure a disc is in the unit"

and btw - I really have bought the 103 for my son this Christmas.
