  • While officially announced, the Big N insists it won't be [Only registered users can see links. ] about it, like release dates and price, until "somewhere in the latter half of 2007." (Nintendo [Only registered users can see links. ] in its original PR with [Only registered users can see links. ])
  • The DVD playback-enabled Wii will (definitely) be more expensive than the original version, though.
  • And it won't be an add-on attachment. (Which may also imply that "neither" will there be add-on attachments for existing Wiis).
  • Speaking of existing Wiis, Nintendo makes mention of the launch Wii as "the best (and more affordable) choice" for gamers with a DVD player at home.
    • We here don't know whether this will translate to a two SKU production run (launch Wii and DVD Wii), although we think this means that any reference to a DVD-Wii will reside in the coming new Wii, and the launch Wii probably won't be seeing any DVD-related upgrades.
Of course, there's always putting [Only registered users can see links. ]... but you're still going to need an SD card and a couple of other things in the first place.

Its nice to hear something about DVD playback. If the Wii is going to seriously compete with the other consoles it needs DVD playback.

Personally, I dont need the feature but, I wish the Wii had it .

Likewise, I dont need DVD playback either, I have my PS2, getting a PS3, and have a 360 , but wii DVD playback would be cool.
Like, I'm more likey to take my wii somewhere with me, than the others, and would be nice to be able to watch a DVD on it too.
