Sounds very much like the games aren't actually built into the DVD
unit, but rather a SEPARATE controller...

....which probably means it's one of those Fami clone systems. I'd
HOPE a legitimate one, if distributed by a major company like Polaroid.

I saw one of those things somewhere...I think it might have been
Target.
Controller resembled an X-Box controller. I just took a passing
glance at it as it really didn't interest me.

Heh, guess Poloroid finally got out of the camera business and into the
21st century...

Polaroid's "legitimacy" in the world of DVD players seems shaky at
best. I dunno about these in particular, but I had a Polaroid DVD/VCR
combo (which quit working last month after a little over a year) which
seemed to actually be a rebadged Apex machine. The DVD's menu setup
screens all contained the Polaroid logo, but everything else was
identical to my friend's Apex.
