Wii What the???

[mybotisgone]

I just don't understand any of this???

 

[The Amazing Spider-Man]

What's to understand? It was just an announcement that was either false, or just didn't pan out. Even if the Wii had it, would anyone REALLY use the Wii for watching movies anyway? Does anyone who has/will have a Wii not have a DVD player already? Doubtful.

taken up room

Reggie has talked about this for the longest time. They were looking at making one with DVD playback for launch, but other things were more important at that time.

Even though I have a separate quality DVD player, the lack of the support for movie playback always sounded strange to my ear - especially for a device aimed for family entertainment and which essentially had a remote for a controlling device.

its not all that important and when you think about it their right about everyone having one i mean look at how many i have:

standalone dvd in livingroom w/ fireplace
vcr/dvd combo in bigscreen living room
one bedroom
desktop computer

i have four and i dont even use all of them and neither does my family and if we get a ps2 that will be five in total. if this was 2000 then yes no wii w/ dvd would be a big issue look at the dreamcast i didnt have one and especially in japan that's what killed it.......but now dvd players cost 20-100 bucks and that includes the panasonics, toshibas, and sony.......so if dvd's a big deal you cant pick up one on the cheap.......hell you can pick up one from the dollar store if you want one real badly......and for those of you guys who say your wii and dvd player is taking up room get one of those mini ones they are half the size of the regular ones and work just as good.

I play games on my game system, not watch movies.

That's from Nov. 13, 2006. I don't care. The TV I play games on has a built in DVD and VCR player. I also have a 360 hooked up to it so I could watch a DVD on either. Why spend an extra $50-$75 on something I already own?
