(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

I don't think so.

On a side note, I think it's pretty cool now that the Americans have Netflix, the UK has iPlayer, and the Japanese have that video/music channel thing of their own.

Hopefully more companies will come forward to add channels to the Wii.

Oh Netflix is definitely coming to the Wii.

I was just saying 'I don't think so' to the OP asking whether this means there will be an update to allow the Wii to play DVDs now.

Hm Well the wii doesn't have a big memory. They can. It'll be interesting on how they'll do this

I guess this makes it official. Remember all the denial last year when this was first rumored.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

No, because a patch won't fix the fact that the drive is incapable of doing it.

It will allow the Wii to stream movies from the Netflix website.  The Wii will not be able to play DVDs.

The drive itself is actually capable, as some of the homebrew channel people know. What I could see Nintendo doing, though I do doubt it, is offering for sale through the Nintendo channel at some point, a DVD channel, which would be sold for about 1000 points, enough to cover the DVD licensing cost.
