Wii reads Nintendo proprietary DVD media only, no
DVD-Video's. The only GC that did
was the Panasonic Q released in Japan. Why not
DVD-Video? Your guess is a good as
anyone's!
Seems Nintendo are asshats because there are glaring
"duh! why?" missing features
like media player for MP3/WMA/Divx/DVD-V/etc... &
remote samba share connectivity,
then you have the hight cost of virtual console titles
& charging $5 for Opera while
actively preventing homebrew software of any form.
It's a nice little unit but it's only real strong
point is innovative controllers
that are about to exist for most every console & PC if
you believe the marketing hype
about In2Games Gametrack Fusion.
We got a Wii for xmas and even though it's got some
"neat" titles for family fun,
sadly both heavy-hitter titles I coveted, Godzilla &
Destroy All Humans, are buggy +
have shit local & no network multiplayer. Of course I
won't be out grabbing a XB360
or Ps3 anytime soon either given cost, being forced to
mod, failures, etc... when my
PC just kicks their ass anyway.
