XBOX needs an addon just to play DVD movies?

I was at the Xbox site checking it out, when I found one of the expansions they are selling. Its basically an infrared device that you can use a remote with which is required to play DVDs movies. I hope this thing is really cheap or the console is, otherwise there will be a ton of pissed off people.
 
they do this so they don't have to pay $20 fees per DVD player. instead they make u pay it seperately. not a big deal IMO.
 
From a marketing stand-point, I think this is a smart idea. When the Playstation 2 first came out, a lot of buyers were using it strictly as a dvd player, as at the time over in Japan, dvd player prices were a lot higher than here in the US. Sony doesn't make money on dvds (well, maybe Columbia titles) like they do on game titles.
 
This is nothing new; it's been known since the announcement of the X.

I hope it's DVD player is a hell of a lot better than my PS2s.
