This symptom is also known as Thomas Mannism. Or bad English. Try reading an English Translation of the FAZ and you will understand.

Fact1: Adding DVD-playback will cause them to have to pay royalty fees and thus lower their profit margin. Not happening
Fact2: Them adding more storage capacity will have a similar effect.
Fact3: Changes in SKU could potentially lead to consumers being insecure about the product offering. Why run that risk if you have literally hundreds of thousands still out there beginning you to take their money for a piece of plastic?
