I read somewhere that nintendo are releasing an updated wii that supports DVDs.

Think this would be a great feature as it looks great and doesn't take much room, would definitely chuck my dvd player in the bin coz its terrible

Is this true?

There are talks about it, Thats all i know.
It would be good if it did. Or if you can get an upgrade for the current Wii's

From what I've heard this is definately true - problem is the people (me included) who already own a Nintendo Wii ours won't be able to play DVDs. As apparantly it will require more than just a firmware upgrade to get them to play. So you'd have to buy a completely brand new Wii just to get it to play DVD films. Great..

The Wii itself does not include a DVD player. The disks work on another format. This is to keep the costs down. It is possible that they might release a second version of the Wii-like the DS lite with the DVD player inserted. No official word from Nintendo yet though.

When Nintendo releases their next system, this will have to be a must. Of course, by then, you will either need an R-Ray player or an HDDVBDDDFDDBVD player. (from RvB )
(B-Ray and HDDVD)

But then it'd make the console more expensive. What do you really want-cheaper or DVD? I'd want cheaper any day.

Then they'd probably make it an optional external attachment, like the hddvd player for the xbox360.

But why not just pick up a £15 DVD player at a store? Doesn't that just make more sense?

[danieltobey]

cuz why not just have one attached to ur wii?
