4. myth: the wii has no ED or HD functions.

if you buy a component cable you can get up to 480p widescreen. that's good enough for me.  Also, it is possible for the wii to do 1080 from the standpoint of hardware.  it needs a firmware update and a new sdk to allow that though, and nintendo is making enough money that they won't do hd until the wii 2 comes.

Care to back that up with a link (homebrew resource or official Nintendo statement would be best though I doubt the existence of the latter even more than of the former).

I would love the Wii to be able to do so, eve though it would not be powerful enough to do so while having a lot of things going on (hell, even the PS360 has most games at less than 720p to keep a good framerate with the amount of action going on onscreen; only technically simpler games like Super StardustHD or games that can pre-render a lot of things like GT5:P go to higher resolution) but it could allow for some sweet 2D 720p/1080p homebrew games.
