Does anyone know if a Wii can play DVDs? Searching Google I get plenty of hits that mention Nintendo adding that capability sometime in late 2007. I just can't find any link that proves it can. I added my Wii to my Logitech Harmony remote and the remote software would alway put the Wii in the choice list when I was setting up a PLAY DVD activity.

So, will a Wii (bought 9/10/2007) play DVDs? If it can, but requires a hack or firmware update please post links to such.

Thanks!

Here is the link that talks about it.

Here is the hack info.

Thanks, J.Todd. Of course I'd already found those dated links. Engadget's are 2006 ponderings of the possibility for a DVD option/upgrade/such-and-such to come in 2007. Slashgear refers to a disk-swap hack with a mod chip installed. I guess they really mean "slash gear" there.

Looks like I'm just gonna have to use one of the 20 assorted DVD players I have in my house to watch DVDs. Drat! ;-)

In retrospect, I don't even know why I asked the question. Sorry.

This little piggy went Wii Wii Wii Wii all the way home. ;-)
