Well That's Useless

We got the Bluray player yesterday and while I bought it becuase it was cheap and I had a gift card to use, a nice bonus was that it had a USB in. I figured I could let my mum use my current DVD player so I could just put shows on the flash drive for her to watch if this new player had one as well. No dice. All it 'plays' are photos! What bloody

:( Sorry to hear that. I just got myself a cheap DVD player after my previous one finally bit the dust, and this one has a USB port as well. Haven't tried playing anything off it yet, though, so don't know if I got the same thing.

I'd like to get a Bluray player sometime, but it's not worth it since no place here sells Bluray discs, and the ones I could buy online won't ship to my location. I hate georestrictions. (>_<)

I resisted bluray, and there was no use having one till I had a TV set that could handle it, but it seems that to get any of the extras these days, you have to to give in.

ARGH!!!!!!!!! is right......
I hate it when that happens........
Did it advertise what you had hoped for when you bought it?
If it did, then take it back.
I take things back and never ask if they are willing. Just
present the receipt, even if I have to wait for my cc statement...

Honestly, I bought it because it was cheap, being refurbished, so as long as it plays the discs, I'm good. Good for me to know that USB doesn't always mean 'plays media files' for when I actually put up the money for a better quality player.
