IDIOCY! CHEAPSKATE! SCUMBAG!,
By Greg Hirst (Casper, WY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit (Video Game)
OK. X box is great. I love it. DVD is great. I love that too. An X-Box that plays DVDs is really really greatCharging 20 bucks to turn the switch on is foolishness, and outrage. Microsoft should be ashamed of itself. Little do most people know that your X-box, as it is, without the kit, has the ability to play DVDs. The little thing you stick into the controller slot simply activates it. You have just bought a 20 dollar remote and switch-flicker. Congratulations. But I guess the result, however overpriced,is much desired, hence the second star, but if you already have a DVD player handy, you might want to reconsider this purchase

I like it. It allows me to watch DVD's on XBOX. The only subtraction is, why couldn't BGates just put the device on it to begin with..... anyway, it works, and is very nice- but it really should have been included in the purchase of the X Box. This is a built in method of extracting 30 more dollars from your wallet if you decide that you want to watch DVD's on your X Box. Of course, 30 dollars is cheap for a DVD player.

This review is from: Xbox DVD Movie Playback Kit (Video Game)
One of the better features offered on the Xbox system is its ability to play DVDs as well as games, an attribute shared by the Playstation 2 (but not the Gamecube). This handy little kit makes DVD playback a snap. All one has to do is pop the sensor unit in to one of the controller ports (Port One seems to work best) and fire up the remote. The remote's design is user-friendly, with big buttons and an ergonomic design that fits nicely into one's hand. Among the features offered on the Xbox (accessed by pressing the display button) are 10X magnification, subtitles, and audio selection. But the remote has a downside, as well. Its range is a little limited (go too far to the left or right of the sensor and functionality becomes a little spotty), and it lacks a power or eject button. Plus, it requires you use the display button to access too many functions--this can be a bit of a hassle, as many other DVD players offer remotes with these functions already available through a single button. It also plays Region One DVDs only, so DVDs from Europe (or other regions) won't play. Then there's the matter of the additional wear and tear DVD playback has on the Xbox unit itself. If you play a lot of games and watch a lot of DVDs, you may end up shortening the life of your Xbox system. With DVD players going for as little as forty to fifty dollars these days, it may be wiser to just buy a separate DVD player. But if you want to utilize the DVD functions of the Xbox system, then this little package will serve the purpose well.
