It really blows my mind why so many people are trying to use a $300 WII in place of a $30 progressive scan DVD player, and then complain about the lack of function if they do get it to sort of work! Go by a DVD player on Amazon.
I’m not complaining, but I don’t think it should exactly blow your mind that people might want to try to use the Wii as a DVD player in addition to its other functions. Also, the Wii is currently $150, not $300, and it isn’t really unreasonable to think that a device with a DVD drive might possibly be able to play DVDs as well as DVD-based games, allowing for more convenience than having an additional dedicated device which plays only DVDs. If it really isn’t possible, then so be it, I can find a different solution easily enough, but I’m still going to try to do what seems to be the most elegant solution first.
