No hardware changes required, just a software install and off you go...

So if the hardware is already there surely Ninty can do an official update and give us all DVD movie playback on the Wii. :confused:

imo they should have made it an original feature and cd playback.

Has anyone tried this yet? I don't think I'd be willing to try this out just in case something untoward happens to our precious Wii.

To be honest I'd never buy a home console for a DVD player anyway, we have 3 in the house already and that's too many! ;) But I know some people expect this sort of thing as standard :)

I tried this yesterday, it sort of worked but not fully if you know what I mean.

First I tried Shawshank Redemption, which didn't want to load up at all. Too good for the Wii. ;)

So I tested out City of God: actually loaded up, got past the adverts crap but then I couldn't click start movie or whatever it says. Maybe I was being a idiot, but I clicked every buttons on the Wii-mote, or did I........

Last of all to give it a fair chance, I putted on Pulp Fiction and it worked perfectly fine, smooth as a duck. :D
