XBOX DVD Player Question

I got XBOX for Christmas and yesterday I went to throw in a DVD player and I had a message on my tv, saying something about an adapter or something that I have to plug into the console...Can someone tell me what I need to watch DVD's on my XBOX and where I can buy it?

Thanks

yea xbox's need the controller but have a built in harddrive... ps2 doesn't need the controller but u have to buy the memory card... it's a trade off either way...

I bought the kit when I got my Xbox. The playback is surprisingly good.

DVD Kit for X-Box is about $50. You have to have it to watch movies.

With PS2 you can use it without a memory card and ya don't need the remote.
But for the same price you can pretty much get a standalone DVD which will have a better picture and do more.

Good luck

well the new ps2's have a built in IR port so that you can now turn on and off the system from the remote (bout time they did that) and now ps2 is a progressive scan dvd player so picture quality is bod mon! and **** mem cards can be had for 5bucks brand new anyways (my lil secret)

but really, thats gay that u gotta buy the adapter to watch movies on xbox...goddamn bill gates, guess he had to buy another unicorn or somethin!

Or you can get a mod chip installed and get the DVD-X 2 software installed so you can play dvd's without the remote + adapter
