It really can't be overstated how important the DVD drive was for the PS2's success. When the first Fast and the Furious movie came out it almost seemed realistic that a criminal gang would risk their lives while attempting to steal DVD players from a truck. That movie's premiere was 8 months after the PS2 was released in the US. A DVD player AND a next gen video game console for $299 was an incredible deal in 2000.
