I don't get it, the only thing it looks like you are out is the 2 months - which sucks, but they are giving you back all of your $$ for the DVD player? Sounds to me like you got a pretty good deal out of it....
So you got one lemon product - these things happen - just be happy that it was covered under warranty.
And man, you had better get a new GF, not a new DVD player if you can't stand a long car ride with her
That said - plye is just that a pile of shit...
