I actually bought one in 1996...

At Radio Shack a bare bones (but considering today's technology, there were all bare bones) RCA DVD player ran me $300 bucks plus tax. At the time HDMI didn't exist, so I used an optical audio cable (which at the time was 40 bucks for 4 feet), and a component video cable (which ran me 40 bucks too). At the time with the equipment I had I couldn't tell a difference between a brand new VHS movie (that didn't have wear points in the tape) and DVD.

The first DVD I bought after I bought the player was Face/Off, which was the cheapest on the entire rack at Wal-Mart, which cost 25 bucks.
