Would be cool if this actually happened. I do have a DVD player but it would be nice to save some extra space and outlet slots, along with wires etc.

I'd rather have an upgrade so that the Wii could play MP3's via an external HD. That would be of more use than a 2nd DVD player.

Also another idea that would be great to see in the future.

I don't think the extra space is worth the loss of quality. Console built-in players are usually noticebly inferior to set top players. While games are meant to be fun to play, movies are most definitely made to look (and sound) good.

no the wii can't play dvd movies.... no there isn't going to be a patch for it (unconfirmed but leaning towards a no) since they will be introducing a wii that has dvdplayback compatibility...

BUT... we won't know for sure until opera client comes out for wii... eventually... people will find a way to get it to work / patch up the wii through the browser.

They are only introducing a DVD playback version in Japan only. the Nintendo president of America already said no there will not be a DVD playback version in the states.

That rumor is false. They were going to try to upgrade throught WiiConnect24 but the firmware upgrade would be too big. They will release a revised Wii console in the latter have of '07 with DVD playback capabilities. But that means more money and longer wait... and dosen't everyone have a DVD player in their house by now?
