DVD-enabled Wii on the backburner
If you're holding out for the day when you can play DVDs on your Wii, you may be waiting a really, really long time. We told you that DVD playback on the Wii was coming this year, but we lied. Okay, we didn't lie, Nintendo did.
This feature was suppose to arrive in Japan by the end of this year, but it has now been pushed back to 2008. As for the US and Europe? We're not even mentioned in these plans, so don't hold your breath. Instead, Nintendo plans to focus its energy on meeting global demand for the console.
At this point, you probably have another method of DVD playback, whether it's another system or a standard DVD player. We know we do, so it's hard to get too riled up by this news. Still, some of you minimalists might be pretty disappointed. Different strokes for different folks, we guess.
