Why would that make it useless?

Well your MS slot is out of commision so you can't watch any DVD's. It'd be great to get a GB MS and put some DVD's on there and plug it into a TV say at a hotel or a friends house.

Ahh that makes sense...I have a 1 GB CF card that holds the movies, so I don't need the MS port...but I still have no need for this, I have a portable DVD player.

This may sound like a dumb question, but if you want to watch a movie on movieplayer on a TV, wouldn't it be easier to watch it on your PC given that you had to convert the entire videio on the PC to movieplayer format?

The loss of image quality going from TV to PC, then to movieplayer format - to output to TV again, you'd get pretty lo-res chunky images.
