Do you need to have the DVD on the system to play this? I have a Netbook with external DVD.

Yes, you will need to purchase a DVD or Blu-Ray player separately; this system does not come with this component.

Yes, this device plays DVD's. It is rated for use with Lenovo computers listed, however. You will, of course, need basic DVD software, like Windows Media player, which should be pre-loaded in most cases or download one of many free products.

No DVD/CD players in Netbooks One of the reasons they are cheaper[I have 2 and am happy with them but you need an external drive if you want to play games/movies] If that usage is important buy a laptop.

On the newer version, that is correct. You can get an external DVD player and plug it into a USB connector and it works perfectly.

No, it doesn't. It's a really thin laptop, about halfway between the size of a Macbook Pro and Macbook Air (with the Air clearly being too thin to accommodate a DVD player. If you have either a movie or game you want to play, either download a digital copy (e.g. via iTunes or Steam) or buy an external DVD burner that plugs in via USB. The laptop has three USB ports, two on the left and one on the right.

Sorry, I have never tried to play a dvd that I recorded myself. It seems like the process should be the same as the motion picture companies use to create dvds so my guess is that the player should read them.

You have to have DVD in the disk drive to play the game. If you did not buy the game, then I can't help you.

Thank you, Paul! I have the disc and the "Quick Setup Guide", but don't seem able to play certain DVD's.

You will need an external cd/dvd drive. There is not an internal one in this model.

No, it does not. That surprised me. I then bought an external DVD R/W to use with it.

yes, you must be connected to internet. any game that shows DVD usually needs internet to work. get the ones that show CD and they will work off line or online. some games will play if you leave the disc in your computer

No, it does not, but you can buy an external DVD drive (~$20) which plugs into one of the USB ports, if you wish, for playing DVD's.
