DVD-less

Well... crap. Our DVD player (a Sony, for any who might care) has suddenly and mysteriously stopped working: it starts up, clunks a bit, then shuts off, regardless of what disc is in it (although, thank gods, the tray mechanism still works, and we didn’t get a disc stuck in it). Now we’ve got to look into either getting it fixed or getting a new one. Sadly, with electronics being as they are, getting a new one is probably the more economical solution...
