First off, it's "rebuttal". Before you decide to make blind assumptions about anyone else's intellect, I suggest you learn how to spell. Second, my DVD comment was in response to your "no hidden costs" claim. I pointed out a "hidden cost". That's all. I wasn't claiming that the DVD feature is a primary reason to own the console, just that the extra cash you have to shell out for the feature is precisely what I said it was: a hidden cost. And $30 is the price I keep hearing everyone else list. I wouldn't know personally seeing as I wouldn't actually PAY to own the console. As far as age goes, you're less than a year my elder. Seeing that you are an ASSBOX fan, I wouldn't really consider your age to be a persuasive argument tool in convincing others of your intelligence. That overpriced lump is walking the same path that the NeoGeo, Phillips CD-i, and Atari Jaguar once walked, and it leads directly to the bargain bin at Best Buy.
