A salesperson at buyriteelectronics.com says Fugedaboudit, there's nothing on the market to take its place, the world has moved to DVDs. A salesperson at 220-electronics.com says that a viable replacement is the Samsung SV 6500W in combination with an external converter. However, his English was not very good, and I couldn't get him to give me the specs on the 6500. And I'm not seeing information about it online. Has anyone had experience with this technology?
