I posted this in the other forum, but Int'l DVD readers might be more interested: (Notice the bundled player has a built-in DD decoder, ALL=REGION support and MP3 capability)

(From www.segaweb.com )
More details have surfaced on the DVD player that will be bundled with the Dreamcast in Europe. The deal is being offered by Sega Europe and Gem Distribution with a £299 price tag. Check out the DVD feature list and be prepared for a couple surprises:

Encore Direct 450 DVD Player (MSRP £229):

Unique chrome design
Built-in Dolby Digital Decoder for 5.1 Surround Sound
DTS compatible (Digital Theatre System)
MP3 compatible
Multi-region compatible (plays all six region DVDs)
Multi-disk compatible (CD, V-CD, SVCD)
Remote control

There you have it! It plays MP3s and has a remote to boot. Looks like Sony takes another one on the chin. Of course we all know that the best feature is that it doesn't overheat...
