I bought a £50 Philips in Sainsbury's of all places in the end. Does far more than my original player than cost 10 times the price. The picture quality seems to be better as well. Navigating menus is much faster than the old player as well.

So I've done my bit to prop up Sainsburys ailing profits. Am I the only one who doesn't understand what the appeal of Tescos and ASDA is ?

I am getting fed up of news reports telling me that Sainsburys has empty selves and crap products and that Tescos and ADSA make more money because they are "better". This is the exact opposite of my experience, Tescos never has anything on the shelf that I need and ASDA's fruit and veg starts rotting before I get out of the shop. And don't get me started on the whole Safeway/Morrisons thing... (clue, our local Safeway was good, but now it is a Morrisons)

Tesco and ASDA sell lots because they are cheap, but price isn't normal the first consideration for my when I am buying food.

Hmmm, that was a bit off topic, wasn't it
