If they can't do with via a firmware update, then they shouldn't bother at all.

 

Technically, I'm pretty sure they could. Legally, probably not unless they paid royalties for every single Wii which has already been sold.

I don't know much about the legal part though.

 

 

Yes technically they can because the Wii just uses your typical DVD technology but has all the DVD movie play back features striped, and they did this so they wouldn't have to pay royalties.

Now, they can make a FREE DVD channel for those that are interested, that way Nintendo will only have to pay royalties for those that have downloaded it rather than the whole wii install base.

 

Instead of it being free they could charge those who download it like 500 wii points. That should make up for the losses when implementing dvd.

 

 

I like that Idea best. Smartest for Nintendo, And Everybody is happy.
