You need to download an update the first time you use it.
That way Microsoft only needs to pay the license to DVD Forum for the consoles that actually use that function.

GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC

Yes.
DVD Forum owns the licenses and patents for the DVD standrd, and you must pay a fee in order to make your device being able to play it.
Same thing with Bluray, which is owned by Blu-ray Disc Association.

The cost would usually be factored into the price of the system since it's capable of playing the format, but this way makes sure the only people who have to pay it are the people who use their systems to watch them.
