I bought the Colby DVD player only in October 2008 and it stopped working two months after I bought it. Yes, its super cheap, but it should have certainly lasted longer. And, since the player died two months after the purchase, I couldn't get a refund from Amazon, as they have a 30-day return policy. Almost all stores have a similar policy but if an electronic item stops working within six months, stores like Target, Fred Myers replaces it. I think Amazon needs to rethink its policies.
