Yes. DVD players were hot and there was a real "keeping up with the Joneses" thing happening with buying one at exactly the time the PS2 was announced to have the feature and even though the prices were beginning their free fall by release you still certainly had more money in your two players + dvd drive than a PS2 cost. It was even more significant than the PS3 also playing blu-ray, which was hampered by the slow penetration of HDTVs at the time.
