Yes, it would be nice if the Wii also played DVD's. If it were really a monetary issue, I wonder if they could sell the update in the Wii Shop channel and you could spill out a few Wii Points. If you don't need the update, don't buy it.
(Remember, if this does happen, you purchased the Wii to play games and not watch DVD's, so don't cry if you have to pay.)
