when people bitched that the wii couldn't play DVDs, allot of Nintendo fanboys defended it saying that DVD players were dirt cheap, and that the wii is just a games machine, people then bitched because the Wii could technically be patched to support DVD movie play back, the Nintendo defence force again used the same excuse.
I wonder if this stance will change, when and if the Wii gets it's DVD playback functionality, should be fun to see.
If they do it, it better be free...but to be honest they shouldn't bother, the wii isn's a media center but then again it wasn't designed to be....in any case, if it's just an old school DVD player then what's the point?
ALL new DVD players can upscale, same for PS3 and 360, the Wii would still be left out, further enfisizing that it's not a multi-media machine.
Now if the wii brought Blu-ray to the table, then were talking....but I question weather the wii can even decode 1080p, or even 720p in software, since it lacks the hardware todo it.
my 2 cents
