[QUOTE="Gamespot"]There is/will NEVER be any way to view DVD Movies on a wii console. EVER*. There is nothing at all that can be downloaded that will allow for the material of DVD format movies to be viewed on your television from a wii system. Do not use google or any other internet search engine to try and prove us wrong. We are Gamespot, and we have spoken.

there you have it

Older wiis you could, newer ones you cant. I think GS had an news article on this last year. w/e dont google it, its not in the wii for a reason (licensing issue to be exact). /thread

Older wiis you could, [/QUOTE] actually you could never play DVD's..... Just go and buy a DVD player for $20, and get some duck tape. Tape the DVD player on top/ to the side of your wii. and now it can play DVD's

Older Wii's Could?
come one Be serious man.
The Wii could never played DVDs in the First place. The Drive that's on the Wii is specially made to read specially made discs to prevent pirating. Turns out they read on a DVD Drive as well.
- Jan 5, 2010 2:28 pm GMTwell... when the wii was first released, it was stated that there would be a DVD version to release in december... but that never happened

well if you tweak it, it could. Older wii DVD drives firmware had the capability to. Nintendo modified the firmware removing support for DVD playback 3 months ago. i know cuz ive already done it. not gonna say how cuz thats against teh rulez.
[/QUOTE] Wait...Nintendo is still getting pirated up the arse...why don't they re enable it! It's not like it matters anyway now...

so many uninformed people in this thread... The Wii can play DVD's, you just need some homebrew (read: software) to do it. Why Nintendo hasn't done it... probably greed, they seem to have this who scrooge thing going this gen.
