My Multi-Region DVD Player Finally Died

Kinda annoyed for no reason, but now I have one.

My DVD player, a reliable Toshiba which I had modded to play any region DVD finally packed up this week end. I was annoyed, it was a faithful unit, and served me very well. I have a DVD cinema system at home, so I kept it mainly to play my region 1 DVDs I bought over the years. Its just now I've realised that I have some very precious DVDs in region 1 format that I am going to have to hunt on Ebay to replace.

No surprise that the old region 1 DVDs will end up on Ebay themselves. But the 3 that Im most sad to see go, and sure I wont be able to replace that fast are

Mummy Collectors Edition, Brendan Fraser version directed by Stephen Sommers
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, a classical funny film, and a cult film to boot
Dune: Mini-Series, the Sci-fi Channel's adaptation of a brilliant book

As I said, these and the others will end up on Ebay shortly the moment I stop crying.
