it is pretty bad that you will have to get a new Wii next year if you want to have a dvd player in it but really who doesn't already have a dvd player so to me it doesn't really matter I probably would barely use the dvd player in it anyhow so yeah..... ![]()
What is the deal with Nintendo announcing there will be a version of the Wii released late next year with DVD playback? Isn't that kind of a buzz kill before the initial system is even released? Also I find it super janky that there will be no way according to reports to update the system with firmware from the Wii Shop Channel to add this feature. The only way to get DVD playback from the original Wii is to ditch it and buy a new upgraded one. Pretty lame if you ask me.
