August 25th, 2009ArticlesAre you in the market for a pink DVD player? Get ready to have fun. Shopping for home electronics can be a bit overwhelming, but when you know from the outset that you want a specifically pink DVD player, it’s a lot easier to compare your options and figure out what best meets your needs, style, and budget.
First of all, you need to decide what style of DVD player you are looking for. “Pink” is not descriptive enough for this stage of the buying process.
- Do you want a DVD player that functions as a component of your home entertainment system? This will have a drawer for a CD, buttons for operation, a remote control and remote input device, and jacks and wires to attach the player to the screen and speakers you’re using to watch your movies.
- Do you want a portable DVD player? These are designed for stand-alone use and almost always fold down just like a laptop. The difference is there is no computer inside; just a playing mechanism. This is excellent for travel and for kids to use on long car rides. Some are impressively tiny.
- Do you want a pink DVD player built into a large flat screen? FAVI makes a 26-inch hot pink LCD HDTV screen with a DVD player built in.
Each of these different styles comes with a different price tag:
- The standard DVD player will cost like most at home DVD players, between $50-$100.
- The portable DVD player can range anywhere from $75-$250. But for most people, a pink compact DVD player in the range of $100-$150 is more than sufficient for their needs.
- The higher end, larger, and more high function pink DVD players, such as the 26 inch FAVI flat screen HDTV with a built in DVD player costs more, generally $350 and up.
So of course, how much you spend depends on you budget, and even more on how you plan to use your pink personal DVD player. Whether at home or on the go, if you look around you should have no trouble finding a pink DVD player that perfectly suits you.

July 4th, 2009ArticlesHave you seen a pink DVD player? Ten years ago, this is not something you would have expected to be available, but now there are dozens of different styles and sizes to choose from.
Pink DVD players are likely to appeal to, of course, someone who likes pink. In general, that person will probably fall into one of four categories:
- Children (often young girls, but pink accents are increasingly popular in men’s clothing and boy’s toys, as well).
- Teenagers and young adults (think college students decorating a dorm room)
- Fashionistas (bold, funky colors can be a flashy accent in any modern décor)
- People who just like the color (but may not want something quite as bold and bright as the ‘fashionista’ does)
From there, it is important to note that pink DVD players come in the same styles and configurations as other DVD players, mainly:
- Standard (for use with a TV / entertainment system, etc.)
- Portable (for use in travel, on car trips, etc.)
- Built into larger appliances (like the FAVI flat screen television)
As you might expect, while there is quite a bit of selection, pink DVD players don’t offer you the same range of options and specifications as DVD players in standard colors but you will still be able to record and play blank DVD media. The number of models that come in pink are somewhat limited versus those available in, say, black. But more and more, manufacturers are recognizing that people really do want color selection.
So while you won’t find quite the options available in neutral colors, you will be able to pick a player from between the leading manufacturers of home electronics. These aren’t just dollar store knock offs making these products. Companies that manufacture pink DVD players include:
- Sony
- Memorex
- Polaroid
- Philips
- Curtis
- Starlite
- Nextplay
- Fisher-Price (for kids’ models, of course)
So the options are certainly there. If you have a preferred electronics manufacturer, search specifically for products within their catalogue. Otherwise, compare reputable brands to find the DVD player in pink that best suits your style, needs, and budget. Then, simply enjoy your movies!

June 27th, 2009ArticlesMaybe you’ve been browsing an electronics store with an especially wide selection. Or perhaps you’ve been looking through online product options (where the selection is even greater). Either way, the moment you see a pink DVD player, you are probably thinking one of two things: “Who on earth would want a pink DVD player?” or “A pink DVD player? It’s just what I’ve always wanted!”
So, in homage to the existing fans of pink appliances, and by way of explanation to those who tend toward solid black, here are the top five (fun) reasons to buy a pink DVD player.
- It is pink. If you cannot get enough pink, then why not extend that to your electronics? Decorating a dorm room or child’s bedroom gets easier when your accessories match the color scheme. This fun color can lighten up any room.
- It plays DVDs. Obviously. But who doesn’t like DVDs? So if you like the color and the function, what is stopping you?
- It will make you smile. If you are particularly sensitive to feng shui, colors and tones, or general environmental design, then a pink DVD player will give you something to smile about when you walk into your room. Once you start buying pink electronics, you are creating a no-grouches-allowed environment.
- It’s ironic. Yes, ironic. A pink DVD player? This could be a great gift for a guy who has a sense of humor (and happens to need a DVD player). It stands out from a goth décor in a particularly humorous manner. And even without surroundings to throw it into contrast, even on its own, a very bright colored pink DVD player is entertaining and ironic; it doesn’t need much help.
- You are a child. Or, perhaps you are buying this for a child. Plenty of adults like pink, but it’s generally found more often in children’s appliances. This is a real reason to buy a pink portable DVD player for your daughter or niece. Or if you’re just a child a heart, then go for it. You only live once.
