Folks,
I've read through just about this whole thread, and didn't see mention of this yet. go to 250dvd.com, and check out the picture of the back of the unit. Yes, the Afreey logo is there, but conspiciously absent from any picture of this system is the location WHERE the two controllers would plug into. I mean, it includes two controllers (which look quite a bit like aftermarket PSOne controllers) but it doesn't show either the plug end of the controller, or a location on the player where they might plug in.
Having recently moved back to (Metro)Boston from Sillicon Valley, I can attest to the outrageous housing prices out there. Some teachers of mine claimed that part of the higher expense was related to the more stable land that SV is built on (i.e. less vulnerable to earthquakes). Living outside the city is cheaper, but you pay the price with less solid foundations. Living in Boulder Creek is cheaper, but a mudslide could send you straight into the Pacific Ocean. Plus, it's at least a 45 minute drive into Palo Alto WITHOUT traffic. I knew folks where the closest housing to SV they could afford was in Tracy, 120 miles away.
Being a poor student out there, there were two separate classes that I could see. You either owned a high priced home somewhere in the valley, or you lived in a tiny apartment paying high rent (and your neighbors work at Taco Bell, not 3Com or Novell.
My opinion? Take the currently closed Moffett Field Naval Air Station and turn it into affordable housing!
