Dell Requiring a DVD Drive for Windows Media Center

I was at the Dell site looking around and noticed that when I went to customize a system I had the option of upgrading to Windows Media Center – but only if the system was configured with a DVD drive. Am I reading this right – will Dell only sell Media Center with a DVD drive? Here’s what it says:

Looking for Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005? Dell Recommends Media Center for easy management and enjoyment of photos, music and movies. A DVD-ROM is also required.
