i've touched on this b4 with wookie, and i said x-box does play dvd's, but wookie said it doesn't.
now i have been on a couple of x-box web pages and they all say the x-box will play dvd movies (here is a quote from one of them) : "The Xbox is not intended to be an entertainment center but it will contain the ability to play DVD movies."
if the x-box doesnt play dvd movies can u tell me where u got your info from. as i would really like to know if it actually does or not!! plus as i mentiond somewhere b4 the offical specs state it has a dvd drive (why would it include this if it does not have the capability to play dvds?) please explain to one hopefull x-box owner. :S

Lifted from the Xbox site:
"The Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit is a quick way to expand the functionality of the best gaming machine around! Xbox requires this kit to enable DVD movie playback. Simply plug in the infrared receiver to a controller port and use the remote control designed for DVD movie playback. No messy cables or confusing game controllers to deal with!"
So, it can play them, but not out of the box. This set is $30, so a quick conversation to sterling..£30 over here. Quite a lot for a remote + reciever on top of what is already a fairly expensive piece of kit..

hmmmmmmmmm Reaper do you own a PS2? the official DVD remote costs £30 that could be deemed as a ripp off. Yes X Box doesnt automatically come with DVD support like PS2 cz that aint X Box's aim, it doesnt want to be some s****y entertainment unit like the PS2 which too rightly DOES suck. Dreamcast had better games, more playability. PS2 has only a FEW superb games. blah blah blah yu'll say FInal fantasy metal gear etc Theyre not released yet they hav had lemme think urrr 1 superb game - GTA3 haha later! bring on X Box i jus hope i can sell my heap of PS2 junk quick enuff
