Alright, I know that DVDs are on their way out but I still cling onto my 500+ DVD collection because I love movies that much (I have no taste and will watch anything).
Our old Toshiba DVD player was decent, but all that changed when we upgraded our television to a widescreen HDTV LCD. With no upscaling feature, my DVDs looked like crap on our 1080p screen.
So last winter, I added the Sony DVP-NS710H/B 1080p Upscaling DVD Player to my Amazon wish list…
…and received two as a result.
The extra unit has been sitting in our bedroom, box unopened, untouched and undamaged since Christmas.
So I’ve decided to offer it as a giveaway to my readers!
This DVD player is one of the most popular models on the market right now, with a retail price of $69.99. It upscales DVDs to 1080p, near HD resolution via an HDMI connection (note: HDMI cable not included). So far, I have not had any problems with mine and I’m happy to report that DVD playback is great.
For more information on this DVD player, please visit the product information page on the Sony USA website.

I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the

Our DVD player is in the last rungs of its life. I would love to win a new DVD player! Thanks for the giveaway
Oooh! Now that’s smart. I should use my blog to giveaway duplicates of stuff I’ve got… Not from a registry or anything… just stuff! Love your blog & praying for you and baby!
I want a new DVD player!
Pick me!! Pick me!!
My husband and I were just discussing how badly we need to replace our 10 year old DVD player.
Great giveaway!
Cool! Thanks! 😀
how awesome of you 🙂 i actually watch dvds on my xbox (original) or ps2.. sad huh?
That would be an upgrade and a great excuse for the husband to finally get his flat screen TV.
Nice, and very nice of you to give away!
Oh my gosh this couldn’t come at a better time. Please let me win!! Our DVD player is dying, we have to beat on it to get it to work and it will only play about 1/2 of our DVD’s now. This would be so nice!
How sweet of you! My DVD player just died a week or so ago, so this would be great!
this would be an upgrade. hate watching movies on laptop.
don’t worry y’all, i’ll write a programme that will automatically pick a winner, so if you still need to blame, blame robots and skynet!! 🙂
I’ve been using one of the original (no joke) DVD players for a LONG time. It it finicky and doesn’t play every DVD. Very frustrating, but I can’t force myself to buy a new one! If I don’t win, I will though. 🙂
Sounds like a fun giveaway!
OMG! Do I need this. One of my kids thought that our DVD player worked like the Wii and just shoved a DVD into the player . So now I have a disc floating around in the DVD player that I can’t get out! GRR. Plus I am having a similar problem with the upscaling. I really hope I win!
did we need to comment again after we tweet? LOL
Awesome giveaway! I too am clutching all of my DVD collection and refusing to conform. 🙂
Great giveaway! Count me in!
New reader, loving your blog! Pick me!!
Weehee! Pick me! 🙂
Wow this is a great giveaway! I would love to win!
We have been borrowing my parents and recently they started asking for it back…. it would be wonderful to have our own, but we just don’t have the extra money right now. *fingers crossed*
Awesome! I SO need this as I have just broken my second DVD player in 1 year!
Sweet giveaway! Our DVD player is ghetto, i got as a gift w/ purchase from Office Depot about 2 yrs ago. I’m surprised it still works haha.
