This is easily the sleekest looking next-gen system so far. DVD support is irrelevant. It was a huge factor last time around, but now who doesn't have a DVD player? It's not worth the added retail cost imo. What really sounds too good to be true is this 'access to historic game library' business. I can't see Nintendo offerring free downloads to emulate their old console games. I'm sure it's gonna be some pay-per-use or "X-Box Live" type monthly fee. I thought the Gamecube and N64 were both complete jokes. This looks promising.
