It's still a DVD9. That designation is based on a DVD with a capacity of 8.5 GB's. While it's not an off the shelf DVD9, it's still very much a DVD9.
It doesn't play DVD's because they would have had to pay Sony (part of the DVD Forum) royalties for each console sold plus each game sold, etc...
If you want a DVD player that darn badly, get a cheap one from Wal-mart. Can't believe you'd harp on a console for not including soemthing that is already inconsequentially ubiquitous.
May as well not buy an X360 because it doesn't have built in Wi-Fi or the PS3 because it doesn't have rumble.
