I just got off a transatlantic flight on American Airlines, and they have an entire channel ('The Soul of R'n'B) dedicated to Prince, as a promotion for the Aladdin DVD. The songs are all either from the Aladdin DVD or ONA Live (although they don't mention the box set).

So good news for all those who are flying AA: No need to load ONA Live on your iPod

cool

off topic, but can you explain why the hell people buy B&O..? they're just style over substance...

What is great, is that on my flight from NYC to LA for the FAMILY JAMM, I got a chance to listen to the Vegas show at least 8 times back and forth coast to coast.. On my plane it was Channel 7... hmmm interesting...
Check it out, as they change the channels each month, so I think december was it

Why B&O - Because it is just pure quality. It is of course style as well but if you compare the picture/sound quality of BeoCenter 1 with anyother 25" television on the market you will see a difference. They have HiFi speakers inside their televisions giving you a much better sound than anyother manufacturer in the market.

But the quality is not just for now - their products last for a lot more years than any other manufacturers products. Not just quality wise but also the style of the products last. They are timeless and will fit your home for many years. If not than you can just change the colours of them. Anyway there is no way that I would ever want a silver box from Panasonic or Sony in my house the picture and sound quality is just poor and they look out of place.

And when you have had your B&O product for some years you can sell it for a decent amount of money because there will always be buyers for B&O products. I guess it is the same reason people buy BMW/Mercedes - style and quality.

Excellent choice I have been thinking about this one myself for some time. It is so nice and slim, you get everything in one - DVD, Radio, CD and Picture plus you can add Surround Sound. And the speakers on it are just excellent - better than many Hifis.

One thing of course is that it is not widescreen - therefore I have considering the BeoVision 3. I especially like the 28" it is so nice and very slim for a widescreen TV. The picture and sound is again pure class. With the stand it also gives you a better option to hide your other bits and pieces such as Set-Top-Box and PlayStation. The STB you can of course control with your B&O remote. So one remote will do it all.

Anyway Charlie, just my view on you thinking of buying. But take some material down to your local B&O shop - like DVDs or CDs and test the equipment. Because you know how it sounds at home and then you know what to look for.
