Wii units sold in Spring 2007 are scheduled to gain DVD playing capabilities. It looks like this will be due to a physical hardware change, not via a firmware update. In other words, post-Spring 2007 Wii's will play DVD's. Only if an upgrade option is made available will any pre-Spring 2007 units be able to play DVD's.
That's too bad, but I guess it's not a deal-breaker for me. I was hoping to eliminate one of my ugly DVD players if I got a Wii.
Where are you getting this information?
