nintendo rep was at target not too long ago. The wii will be getting a hdmi port...but blue ray nope. This is new drive is most likely a dvd drive with up-scaling.

xflak40 said:ahhh, so ur friends are the ones deciding to get an external dvd drive over a usb hdd... make sure u explain to the pros and cons of each choice... and also, because its an external dvd drive, u still wont be able to play gamecube games or ios reloading games like u can with cioscorp (if ur wii isn't a new D3-2 model)
in my opinion, there's no good reason to get an external dvd drive over an usb hdd... the only MAYBE acceptable reasons are that your friends are too poor to buy an external hard drive (even though as spindle of dvd's costs almost as much as a USB HDD) or they already have a lot of backup disks and ur friends are either too lazy or too dumb to transfer them to a usb hdd
Why would this drive do upscaling when the wii wont officially act as a dvd player?chartube12 said:nintendo rep was at target not too long ago. The wii will be getting a hdmi port...but blue ray nope. This is new drive is most likely a dvd drive with up-scaling.

Yes. Why else would they be adding a HDMI port? and now a new drive? Nintendo did claim it would take more than an update for dvd. Also they wants said dvd playing and different colors would be available after the Wii shortage ended. There is a black wii so...get where I'm coming from?
Nintendo has said repeatedly that their next console won't simply be a Wii with HD abilities. They won't make a new console until they feel that their new ideas won't work without new hardware.chartube12 said:leondmsmith said:Why would this drive do upscaling when the wii wont officially act as a dvd player?chartube12 said:nintendo rep was at target not too long ago.

Why don't they stop wasting their time dealing with this and figure out how bull-shit their graphic in comparison to other consoles in this generation !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What use is HDMI if you're not going to use it for HD? Besides, the Wii isn't capable of outputting HD for movies, either.chartube12 said:Who said anything about a HD console? No one. The Wii with HDMI would simply use it for movies. old Games woud need to be patched and what not for hd. Games are limited to 480p on the Wii. Simular to ds games are stuck at there resolution on the ds xl/ll
Nintendo in there own magazine said the wii with dvd playing would eventually be released. Amit that was 3 odd years ago.

I don't think it reads original discs![]()
Just burned ones. Anyone here to clarify?
mousex said:elmariachi said:Using USB 1.1 is like replacing the DVD drive with a floppydisk driveOn a computer you're right but the Wii doesn't need high USb speeds, the original IOS just use 1.1 speed so they could also use just 1.1 hardware. So that's nothing like replacing DVD with floppy.![]()
And we all know that a DVD-playing Wii isnt' going to happen. After all, newer consoles don't have the ability to play them at all.chartube12 said:Who said anything about a HD console? No one.

Amit that was 3 odd years ago.You are always saying that the Wii gets HDMI, can you please give a source for this? Without source you are just talking bullshit. I see a point in HDMI even for SD as many cheap LCD TVs don't have component input anymore and os you could get 480p only with HDMI but I never heard that the Wii will get HDMI. The newer Wii drives (the ones who don't read backups) don't even have a DVD-Video mode (which was used for backups), so how can the Wii become a DVD-player?
