I'm not so disbeleiving towards the idea of a WiiHD, I mean the Wii is getting manhandled by piracy, and it wouldnt be hard at all for nintendo to come up with a console in the $250 dollar range that also had a Blu-ray player. The blu-ray disc, btw, has security features that make it a lot harder to rip games with.
Hopefully, the HD bandwagon will cut down on piracy.
