Menards! Oh you're baiting me right? lol They will have exactly ONE
unit per store and it will be sold before the ad comes out.
If you buy 2, you can buy a short Y splitter that will plug into the
power cord. For short trips, the DVD's built in rechargable batteries
are good for several hours.


Wallyworld had them for the same price (includes external rechargable
battery pack) in decent quantities. Problem was that they won't play
VCD/SVCD/Divx movies... Kinda like Jay's CD player that won't play MP3's...


I'll say this about WalMart -- their Xmas lights are much higher
quality than Menards. Two weeks ago we strung Menards "icicle" lights
on three of our hotel's four front balconies, and WalMart's lights on
the fourth. About 25% of the Menards lights don't work now, and look
absolutely terrible. I'm gonna have to tear them down and put up
different ones, at the cost of half a day.

Never again.
