The wii hardware can do DVD. There are mod chips out there already that can do it. (or are supposed to do it)

This I believe, but doesn't Nintendo have to pay a licensing fee to sell a DVD player?  That would suggest to me that DVD playback might be a channel that you pay like 500 Wii Points for, rather than a simple firmware update, otherwise Nintendo would immediately have to pay millions of dollars in licensing fees for all the Wiis already sold.
