Why in the heck would you want to watch a DVD through an RCA cable? I JUST got a Wii, and unless I'm missing something there is only RCA output, which really really surprised me. I figured it'd have S-Video at least.

Wow this thread is still alive? I mean, I've gotten a DVD player and everything. Sheesh. I guess no one has anything better to talk about.

It's not outdated...yet. Good to know there is a component cable out there. I was wondering how my friend had his up on his 60" TV. Def. not RCA cables.

I didn´t try it yet.

I think this thread is retarded. Nintendo has NEVER had a console out that was able to play cds or dvds....go buy a xbox 360 or ps3...if you want to watch dvds or listen to cds on a gaming console.

Go ahead and try it, since you need a modded Wii to use it.

Good luck with that...

And I bought a 64DD expansion from a peddler in Japan, and the wii doesn't have the slot to attach the DD ... what a waste! The Wii should be pulled off the shelves if these are the shennanigans they will be pulling.

the only reason i dont care that my wii play dvds is i wouldnt want to start up my wii every time i wanted to watch a dvd. i always thought it was annoying to have the ps2 start up to watch a movie. n then it shortens the lifespan of the ps2 who knows if it would do the same to a wii. plus the wii is so small and a dvd players are tiny now-a-days that even next to each other they are still smaller then a ps2, xbox, ps3 or 360.

so its a good thing that esoterika got himself a dvd player
