The fight for dominance with the high fidelity home entertainment marketplace has lastly ended. Blu Ray is the victor and HD may be relegated for the history books, alongside Betamax and Minidisk players.

EBay has close to 3,000 Blu-Ray players listed on its site and Amazon.com has somewhat over 2200 players on the market showing perhaps the gap is shrinking between those two industry giants as well.

But if you are an eBay reseller or even a dropshipper selling the car DVD player and portable DVD player online you still need one query answered.

Will my customers really have an interest in the Blu Ray portable DVD or car DVD player?

Interest on more portable forms of Blu Ray players are decidedly muted largely for several reasons the key ones being:

* The little screen size doesn't effectively 'show off' the higher definition
* It's more than double the cost of ordinary portable DVD players or even home theater * Blu Ray players
* Discs are costlier
* It consumes more power

Shoppers seeking a portable DVD player really want a "second" entertainment source they can take with them on holiday.

This will be used by the traveling executive or by kids on a family vacation.

Both biggest concerns of people searching for such DVD players are cost and allow you to be multifunctional.

Allow me to share some other things that customers would like to see their portable DVD player models have:

Digital TV Compatibility

While using FCC-mandated June 12 deadline for ceasing analog transmission inside US, across the corner a portable DVD player capable of receiving digital signals will be a huge decision tilter. When looking for this though ensure that you are listing players with the correct standard.

DVB players work in most countries but they won't work in your US and ATSC capable units works inside US, Canada and Mexico but won't be any good in Europe.

Gaming Capabilities

Can the player be connected to a gaming console? This helps on those long road trips with some kids in the back seat.

USB and card inputs

Can you plug the memory card from the camera directly into the portable player?

Card ports are able of handling multiple formats will a fantastic help to play those holiday videos and take a look at the pictures on a bigger screen and are being offered by numerous China manufacturers of the portable DVD player.

Get the function set right on the things you will be listing online and you will be away laughing.

A good player will make many sales and leave many satisfied customers. But there does exist one thing for sure… for now it won't play Blu Ray DVDs.
