Exactly why they made it an optional add-on. That way their console doesn't cost $600 out of the box like some peoples. LOL

I don't see much in them either. Until they stop making DVDs or lower the price on HD-DVD players, then I see no need to get one.

Same here, so I dont really care. And I dont plan on getting one. It would be amazing to have a huge plazma TV, but I dont have the kind of money.
