Hopefully next gen they'll at least have optical output (which is already considered 'legacy' even now)

There is a distinct difference in quality between Stereo-DPLII and Dolby Digital or DTS 5.1. That's probably my biggest gripe about the Wii.

I typically use the Wii in conjunction with Dolby Pro Logic IIx to upmix it to 7.1....MP3 sounds real nice...


So the wii has Dolby Pro Logic IIx, I'm confused.

BTW- I'm still planning to get a wii even if the audio isn't that great. I just thought it was kinda of weird that they didnt upgrade but after reading the posts I see why it wasn't that big of a deal. I guess most people don't care about audio that much.

No - Dolby Pro Logic IIx is basically just an extension of Pro Logic II.  It takes what would go to the rear speakers and remaps some of the sounds to go to the surround back (7.1) speakers instead.
