| jellyfishprince said: that would be so cool! I hope nintendo upgrades soon.. I have another suggestion: what if there an lcd on the wii that would tell you things like battery charge of all wiimotes and weather and stuff and it on christmas it would have messages and stuff. also it would be cool if they made it play hd-dvds too becuase then sony would be destroyed sorry to say but look at the install base of the wii! they would have 50 million hd-dvd players overnight compare to 20 million blu-ray players! |
Do you understand how anything works? Previous threads arguing with you I thought you were a troll. Now, I just can't believe you would say something so stupid.
HD-DVD and blu-ray use the same blue-diode laser, and basically the same wavelength. DVD players used a red laser at 605 nm compared to blu-ray and HD-DVD which use a 2 lens blue diode 405 nm laser.
I don't think you understand you can not make DVD players read HD-DVD or blu-ray with codecs. The wii can read DVDs, because it's a DVD reader, it just doesn't have the codecs to read video DVDs. Which can be added but nintendo doesn't want to pay royalties. Not only that, but HD-DVD is a obsolete format which is now out of print with no one backing it, the main makers droped it. Also there is an estimated 70-80 million blu-ray players sold to consumers in the world.
Do you think when you post? Serious question.
OH and to add, the WII doesn't have the power to stream HD content from a disc regardless. The new wii would have to be a much better model with more power, making unequal SKUs, also having to pay royalties, bring out a dead format and try to get support for it and get companies to start printing on it again, drive cost up for nintendo they stop making as much profit. Great idea.
