I got a Sony Video Jukebox(basically a dvd player that has a carousel which holds 400 dvds) ....no more switching out dvds for me(wow, that's pretty darn lazy ain't it? )

I also got a great Argyle shirt, a box of Macadami nuts, a new cell phone(with an mp3 player---now I can listen to every Aqua Song ever made ) , a fondue pot, a beard trimmer, a Hickory Farms gift pack, a B I G coat and lots and lots of sox.

From the heavens we also got a White Christmas(even if it only lasted a couple of hours in was kinda cool)

Stuff. And stuff..

Did you get this bad boy? We have one and are mostly happy with it. Except our is an earlier version without HDMI (just component video and coax digital audio out). Also, I felt the lack of indexing features to be a disappointment.

But in addition to the laziness factor, it really helps with the storage of DVDs. While we do keep the boxes they came in, we do not need to have them out on display anywhere. It is pretty cramped in our living room, so this is a definite plus.

I slobbered over DVD jukeboxes for most of the last decade (a friend had one of the earliest ones). Then by the time I finally was willing to kick in the cash for one, I had more discs than any of them would hold so it seemed pointless to have it and still need to store DVDs somewhere accessible.
