tconthepc3, that's an awful problem. It sounds like the XBox. You should try another player just to make sure.
As for this question:
It is possible to get very cheap players; I got my first player (Apex), for ~ $68.00. It works fine, but because it is cheap it is very sensitive. The first time I played a Region 0 DVD on the player it said it had no disc and it wouldn't play ANY DVD's. After a while I got Region 0 DVD's to work, but then I would get problems with any disc imperfection (small stratches, dust, smudges, etc.). I knew it was the player itself when another player played through the disc with no troubles.
The player I am now using is a Samsung... I haven't had any problems with it. I can't tell you the price because it was given to us, but I am willing to bet it was over $100. So if your going to buy a player.. don't buy it to cheap, but enough... quality comes with price.
If I had the choice of a brand I'd buy Sony because they make quality products.
