| Anyways Nintendo has a Wii in Development that has DVD playback capabilities.
Here are the details known now: cost more than $250 requires more than a download from WiiConnect24. |

| What is your source for this?
It just makes me wonder why Nintendo would do it in the first place. Maybe it's just an excuse to lock people out from piracy for another few months. |

| 250 bucks? I call shenanigans.
I did, however, find this gem lacking grammar and sources. Wii! (edited by Ziff on 01-17-07 01:56 PM) |

| He said more than 250. But I still call shenanigans until a source is provided. | |||

| Nintendo of America, call 1-800-255-3700.
click 0 after the spanish thing, when you talk to the consumer service rep, ask si there going to be a Wii realesed with DVD playback capabilities Also "requires more than a download from WiiConnect24" because it needs a hardware chip. There also planning to keep the current Wii on the market. There also planning that it will be realesed in the second half of 2007. (edited by Mister Lover on 01-17-07 02:00 PM) |

| Why the hell would you want DVD playback on your Wii so bad? I mean, for 250 bucks you could just buy...4 or 5 or 7 cheapo DVD players.
edit:: way to read the link I posted! (edited by Ziff on 01-17-07 02:01 PM) |

$250?? That's ridonkulous. I could get a pretty good pc video card for that kind of money. I am crying foul here.

| It's a new version of the console, so you're not paying 250+$ for a DVD player, you're paying 250+$ for a Wii AND a DVD player.
Still, it seems fairly pointless - if you don't own a DVD player in this day and age, you're not interested enough in getting one to pay extra for a more expensive model of a console for one. DVD players in consoles was a good idea back when the PS2 did it, but with the price they go for these days, no one will really care whether their new console has one or not. |

| In fact, with that money, you could buy a PS2. Which IS a DVD player. And play video games. | |||

As for the original topic, I'd play the DVD's on one of my three computers or my laptop. GO PC POWER.  Eh, I just don't have 250$ for every new peice of equipment that is released.
Meh. (edited by Riku on 01-17-07 06:14 PM) (edited by Riku on 01-17-07 06:20 PM) |

Originally posted by Adamant And he says this when within his title box is are two words... "fuck sony" Oh, and Riku. Sony may have "the best graphics" but it forces you to pay extra money for the rest of the stuff that comes with the system... (ex. Blu ray) but PS2=good |

| Tanks. I never said Sony had the greatest graphics. You'd be wrong to judge me as a gamer if I favor graphics above gameplay.
*sigh* |

Originally posted by TanksOriginally posted by ZiffBut it's sucks and is a peice of steaming crap in a hole... so why would you buy one? I bet he confused the PS2 for the PS3. Out of the dying console war (XB/PS2/GC), PS2 won out -- and is still winning even against the new consoles
The PS3, though, is most definitely a steaming pile of shit. (Also, maybe I'll wait for the DVD version, so at least I can have a DVD-player in my room, heh.) |

| What I don't get is that the GC and Wii both have their games on DVD's, sure they use a funny file format. So why would it not be a software issue? |
