That's correct. The CD-i 550 was just a relabeled CD-i 450 with a DVC, a different box and a gamepad instead of that ugly cabled remote control that was shipped with the CD-i 450. But some retailers also added a DVC to the CD-i 450 and sold it as a CD-i 550, so there's really no difference at all.cdifan wrote:As far as I know, the 550 is really just a 450 with DVC, at leas from the hardware point of view. In other words, you can indeed take out the cartridge if you want to (the cover might be sealed or something, I don't know about that).

perhaps you should read my initial question before making silly remarksWindowsKiller wrote:Maybe that's because you have a CD-i 490?
Bas wrote:Did the 450 also have a version with a DVC that you can't take out anymore? Or were are players with built-in cartridges just normal cartridges you could plug out and in again...?

cd- 450 with DVC
The Philips cd-i 450 with DVC that I was talking about came in a cd-i 450 box on which they glued a paper stating that it contained the DVC. I always thought Philips did that, not the seller.
It came with a 450 manual and a seperate DVC manual.
I think it is possible to take the DVC out, but I never tried that. There was also some kind of 'spoon' supplied to take the DVC out.
It DID NOT include the gamepad however, just the 2-button controller. (Mine was broken within a year, the seller replaced it with the 3-button gamepad )

those stickers were from Philips, probably to boost the interest in the system. Still it's a 450, and they did manufacture a 550 (that's actually on the player), but it's quite possible it's just a 450 with a seperate DVC installed.
How about the Magnavox players, those were all with an incorporated DVC as far as I remember.....
