ReNew line of green-friendly devices, you'd think it would think twice about adding to the landfills of the world with yet more forgettable cheap crap -- yet here we are looking at the MVDP1085-FLRB portable DVD player (pictured) and MDV2040-FLR Fashion DVD player. $39.99 is all it takes to bump your home theater up to Fashion status with the MDV2040, which comes with 480p component output and stunning pink urban-floral casing, but road warriors will have to pay $129.99 for the privilege of toting the Memorex label around on the MVDP1085 -- at least for the paltry two hours the internal battery will last them. Check a pic of the Fashion player after the jump -- and then move on with your life.

Thank you.
I only wish more engadget posts took this tone.
I'm really tired of seeing useless crap posted here pumped up like it's the second coming.
You can't argue that the price of the cheap one.
Except that there are plenty of other cheap home players available for even less than that.
That said, I don't see the problem if somebody wants to pink up their living room (though I suspect this is more intended for little girls' bedrooms). It's not like they're trying to rip anybody off. You're probably paying about $10 extra for the paint job, which isn't too ridiculous.
