Quote:Seriously, buy a seperate DVD player. Nothing worse than burning out your $279 game system (CAN dollars) because you were using it rather than buying a $40 DVD player.
I already have a separate DVD player (a few of them, actually). I just don't want any extra "clutter" around my TV. If the Wii plays DVDs (which is apparently in the works), I will ditch the DVD player. This is assuming I buy a Wii, of course.
Why would playing DVDs burn out a Wii? Most people with a Wii would be playing games, and I assume that at some point the disks would be spinning around inside the Wii, much like a DVD would. You can't tell me that playing DVDs in a Wii leads to a higher failure rate than playing Wii games in the same console.
This reply is way too argumentative, which I did not intend.
