Could the Wii use HD-VMD?

LOL... HD VMD could kill off HD DVD and Blueray if that's the case... that would be freaking hilarious. I fully support the idea as well... although to get 30 GB per side you'd need an 8 layer disc. 4 layers at 15GB is more then enough space for HD material.

Now the biggest problem would be the read speeds. The Wii wouldn't be able to keep up to be able to play back an HD movie. Although it would be a great way to increase disc size for large games. Although how many games last gen required more then 1 disc?

Actually, the HD-VMD group would be smart to help Nintendo and Microsoft produce firmware to play HD-VMD movies if it is possible (even if the Wii could only currently output it to 480p or 1080i/720p) because they would leapfrog to 20 Million compatible devices (well over double the number of Blu-Ray and HD-DVD devices combined).

Sony and Toshiba would cry as they lost all support for their formats. I doubt they would do it because it would make me smile. :) lol
