| | Re: DVDs You can buy a new DVD deck for as little as $19, most come bundled with DVD playing software. It's actually cheaper to buy a deck than the software individually...in most cases.

| | Re: DVDs In the case of OEM DVD drives, they are not made specifically for Vista. I don't know if the situation has changed but, for the longest time, optical drives were sold with only XP compatible software.
