Not really DVD related but there has been a lot of info about a new Sony console originally thought to be a handheld console called the PSone. This was originally to be released in the next couple of months. It turns out the PSone will be a modified version of the original console with an add-on screen as Sony will keep the original console running alongside the Playstation 2. Click here for photos and an article relating to the machine. Thanx James for the info. If your into martial arts movies, Check his site out.
