if you have DVDs then you most likely have a player?

or you could buy a new one for around £10 and save loads of money.

really what is the point of this. even if you needed to have a console which could play DVD movies, a PS2 would be cheaper and more functional… optical out dam it!

How do you figure ? this is pretty good that homebrewers have made a DVD player capabilitie before nintendo has put one out so shove your negativity, at least some one is trying.

accordion, its only pointless to people who already have a dvd player on the tv their wii is on. like me. to me its pointless.

Doesn't this make the wii just about the smallest DVD player in existence. plus it's got component out too. ...And xvid/divx via the gamecube!

Great mod. :thumbup:

...And I've lost the remote for my DVD player so I'd get use out of it. If they can write it straight to a firmware chip and avoid the need for all the disc swapping, then I'd happily throw the standalone DVD player away, for this cool slimline little dvd-playing box with a nice remote!

It'll be worth trying. I'd like to have the portability of the Wii with the option of playing DVD's too. I'm moving overseas next year and will be taking my Wii. This just means that I can leave my DVD player in the states.

Yet another positive Wii comment from Accordion. lol

Out of interest what reasons do you actually still own a Wii for as your constantly bashing the system??

of course i still have the Wii

my unrelenting admiration for the company wont let me sell it. im just disappointed with the current situation.

Dont take my comments as one big opinion, each post reflects the topic at hand, and having a to go to so much trouble to play a DVD on the Wii is completely pointless, no surround sound, and the cost is absurd.

I thought the idea of hackers sorting out DVD playback before (if?) Nintendo implement it on the Wii was quite good though, all be it quite long winded.

The current situation with Nintendo isn’t great but I’m going to be optimistic and hope they’ll eventually pull their finger out and sort out all of the current probs (lack of DVD playback, lack of class A games, poor pal emulation on VC games etc etc).

I apologise if I’ve taking your posts the wrong way.
