That was the generation of the $200 HD-DVD player accessory because Microsoft backed the wrong horse. RROD. Kinect was born.

I'd say it was the beginning of the end.

Also one of the easiest piracy mods ever. Just pop your DVD drive out, hook it up to your PC's motherboard, and flash firmware to it that makes it accept burned media

Dreamcast was even easier. You just needed to use an easily-burned boot disc.

Oh yeah I forgot about that. I also remember it would totally burn out the laser because the discs you'd burn at home were not very high quality, or something like that. Lol

I never ran into that problem. I hadn't even known it was a problem.
