Anyone own or can recommend a portable DVD player?  Looking at a 10"er for the van on trips.  Don't care much about battery life.  Want a decent picture and reliability.  Inputs and outputs are a plus.  A 'car kit' or sling for between the seats will be needed also.  
Are wireless headphones worth it?  I can see the convienence but then there is batteries, etc.
I should also probably include DVD-/+R/RW.
I've looked at Polaroid and Initial for price.  Toshiba's are about $100 more.
Anything else I should consider?

Thanks!

I bought the Audiovox 7" for a trip about 2 months ago with the wee one....and have used it every day since for kid vids for her.

Picture not bad and they have a 10" screen unit, too.  Comes in a nice carry case with all the accessories including car bag to hang up on headrest posts.

Best Buy may have closed them out, but I think Circuit City has them now.

Thanks Chairguy, I plan on looking this weekend and will check out the close outs.  I've noticed stores don't have or have more than what is on the website.

Hey rosco, no movies for me.  That would be about as smart as reading a book while driving.  DVD for the kids, I get the tunes.
