As I understand it the DVD devices are cheap. It is the software that costs the money.

Internal DVD-ROM reader drives are very cheap and you can use the completely free VLC media player to play DVD movies.

I found powerdvd for $2.99 with free shipping at http://www.surpluscomputers.com/store/main.aspx?p=ItemDetail&item=SWW12067 That is pretty close to freeware.
