The most common CD players around now are probably video game consoles.
- ColdStream 2mo agoAnd even then I think it is only up to the 360/Ps3 generation. After that they only play DVD's/Blu Ray as it is a cheaper laser component.
- account42 2mo agoWait really? How much can the second laser possibly add to the BOM of a mass produced device? Now I'm wondering if there are also PC drives that cheap out like that - can't say I have tried a CD yet in the one I have right now.
- ssl-3 2mo agoAll Xbox consoles can play audio CDs. (Later ones need software added to do that, but that software is free.) Playstations after the PS3, though: Not so much. (Sony lost track of their "It Only Does Everything" schtick[1] somewhere along the way.)
