Uh - are you all living under a rock or something?

Yes, there WILL be a Wii with DVD playback - but only in Japan suppsoedly by 2008, and the DVD Drive playback hoo-hah is being developed by Sonic Software. 1 of the reasons why Nintendo won't make a firmware update with the Wii Disc drives for the EU and USA is because paying for royalites to get DVD playback on Wii is cost a ton - and Ninty being the pro-gaming company they are, won't do it.

Meh, I'm saving up for a 64DD and Panasonic Q anyway - the Q in particular, makes every other console in existance look like plastic pieces of crap.

And also with Blu-Ray going mainstream and HDTVs getting affordable next year why do we even need DVD? :.
