- pauleku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22who cares, everyone has at least 1-2 dvd players as is.
- Falldog, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Nothing like telling people who are getting one this season that a better version is going to be coming out later.
(Not that it's gonna stop me)
(And not that anyone should need the Wii to play DVD’s anyway.) - pauleku, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14if you dont like it, dont buy it.
If nintendo wanted to create a 500 dollar systems with cutting edge graphics, they would. This is the most affordable system and indications are it will be doing VERY WELL. - DrGamez, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Way more supported in like 4 months? DVD took longer to catch on than that and that caught on "quick".
- wonderwood, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9You Are Dumb.
- paco505, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I would probably wait and buy it if it comes in black and call it REVOLUTION edition or something like that.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I think the mods speak for themselves.
You=Douchebag.
I also feel sorry for you because I think you have poor self-esteem. - cds0528, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6@dr gamez
trust me, it's not worth your time to argue with idiots... I dugg your comment and buried his anyway though. - xenoputtss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Also most likely the Version 1.0 of the Wii will be the first to have a hack for it. So if you wanted the newer Wii with DVD playback im sure you would be able to sell V1 for either the same you paid for it, or a little more (once V1 is no longer sold in stores that is). You could then take that money and stick it right into your new Wii with DVD playback.
- wiihateeveryone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4No japan uses NTSC
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3How can you argue against the "bad" graphics, if you say that PS2 is better? It was the worst graphically for it's generation! How do you think Gamecube had all these cel-shaded games, and PS2 just had Katamari.(The only good game)
- jdawg19, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Even so, it is about time
- thomasprebble, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Why not just a firmware upgrade?
- drFUNK, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3I think you meant NTSC-J, but yeah it's basically the same thing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTSC-J - halfnormalform, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And in related news, Whirlpool has announced a refrigerator that can also be used to break open walnuts by placing them under it.
- Y2JCrisis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2HD DVD/Blu Ray are both going to flop. They're too expensive from the get-go and not better enough to make people upgrade from the DVD equipment they already have. Sorry.
- StarDal, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Then what's a fanboy to do in the meantime?
- fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2OMG!! I was getting a PS3, but this news has changed my plans...I'm getting a Wiiiiiiii
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What!? They did all that. Do you know how many M rated games there are? A ton.
The controller is awesome, the graphics are awesome. You don't know what you're talking about. They never say they're innovating if they're not. - JamesCSmith, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1I already have a DVD player so I don't care. But let me know if they plan to add a VHS or 8 Track tape player. That would be usefull.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Dvd Schmeevd
- dannylewis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1All I have to say is "feh." I have a DVD player, and I think it's safe to say we all own DVD players.
- dralezero, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Yea I want my Wii now! But if there is going to be other hardware upgrades like optical output and things like that then I'm willing to pay a little more but I do not want to wait. I wouldn't pay more for the DVD alone only other upgrades that can affect the experience of games made on it in the future.
- velvet396, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Why bother? No digital audio port makes the Wii a dumb DVD player choice anyway.
- matriculated, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Unless they have at least HDMI and upscaling, I'm not interested. If they could support Blu-ray and HD DVD then I'm in! ;)
- Kelmon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1This is indeed true. When I bought a PS2 many years ago it was my first DVD player (in the living room, at least) and this feature was one way of justifying the purchase. However, that was a long time ago and DVD is no longer something new where a console could represent an easy way of getting access to the technology. I would be genuinely surprised if anyone would buy a Wii with the idea of using it as a DVD player unless it is going to be used in a room that does not currently have a DVD player.
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Ugh, this is what, the 20th article about the Wii DVD thing this week? They keep saying its Japan only, then that its coming to the US, that its Japan only, that its coming to the US. Can we please refrain from posting about the Wii's DVD features until they can actually make up their minds?
- iameightyseven, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0How about "WiiVD" instead? Sounds like DVD, and includes the Wii name.
- Snooper1989, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Sadly still no word on other countries like Australia, although i'm pretty sure Japan uses the PAL system so it probably will be coming here.
- coldfusion055, on 10/12/2007, -11/+0Yes, the sky is not falling as some had believed.
- DrGamez, on 10/12/2007, -16/+2We know already.
- wiihateeveryone, on 10/12/2007, -15/+0How eloquently put, you skank banging prick.
- DBiz, on 10/12/2007, -19/+1By the time the Wii-DVD get's over here HD DVD/Blu-Ray will be much more supported. I guess I don't see the logic in this. Then again... look what happened with the Lite.
- wiihateeveryone, on 10/12/2007, -20/+0Ofcourse i wont get one! I've got roms on my pc, and a playstation 2 which is better. Why the hell would i waste money on a Wii? Speaking of which i need to take one right now.
- wiihateeveryone, on 10/12/2007, -29/+2Wow! A dvd player, how innovative. Now all it need are games for grown-ups a decent controller and perhaps the same standard of graphics as the 360 and PS3.
