Even Sony aren't stupid enough to add a drive to a device that holds less data than Maccy D's mp3 player. This is a pretty bad April fools joke……

For the same dimensions they could include a miniDVD drive (with the same dimensions) that holds 1.4GB. In addition miniDVDs are more often avilable because they are used in camcorders. And if it could also write miniDVD-Rs (like any camcorder can), even better. Sony is penny pinching here.
