I can't believe they pulled it off with the shortage and all

Take a look on ebay if you want a surprise. Just from curiousity I looked yesterday, and there were more than 6,300 Sony Playstation 2's being auctioned. The greedy types with minimum bids in the $500 range were not getting any bids. Most seemed to be selling in the $400-$550 range. I saw one incredible auction for a set of four brand new playstations, starting bid $2,000, and the lunatics had bid the price up to $14,100 with three days still to go.

As for pulling the audio off of a DVD disc... it can be done. Tony Fabris knows how to do it. And I can just about promise you he will never try it again! I guess the process is, shall we say, fraught with unexpected problems and difficulties and requires some special software and a lot of time and very sincere effort. (He very kindly extracted the audio from my Cats DVD for me so I could put it in my empeg.)
