Usually, I find Amazon's recommendations--for music and books, anyway--to be just about unerring. Somehow, it figures out what you'd like based on what you've already bought and how highly you've rated your purchases.
But I noticed something very odd when I went looking for a new DVD player, because my old one is crapping out.
When Amazon recommended this Philips model, it's because I once looked at a nonstick sheet for making cookies.
And the reason Amazon thought I'd like this Cyberhome DVD player is because I picked up a Monopoly set.
It seems a bit of stretch.
But here's the weird thing: The Cyberhome model will let me play DVDs from anywhere in the world, which is actually a function I'd like.
How did Amazon know???

So people who buy cooking sheets want DVD players that don't play discs from all over but people who buy Monopoly sets do?
non-stick cookie sheets mean you don't like commitment... same with a DVD player that will play DVDs from around the world.
Or not.
