can it do 3d or not?

It's lame it doesn't even play regular blu rays. AutoPilotOnIt makes sense. Paying for regional licensing would have forced Nintendo to jack up the price of the console. If anyone wants to watch Blu-ray movies, they likely already have a player. If not, they cost all of $60-80.

It would of been nice to have a 2nd blu ray player.

A dollar, it would have cost them a dollar per console
Is there any particular reason you think that people would be willing to pay 299.99-349.99 and not 300.99-350.99?

No.
It can't even play Regular Blu-Ray movies or DVDs...or even CDs.
It could in the future with a firmware update, same as the PS3 and 360.The 360 can't do 3D Blu-Rays or regular Blu-Rays with a firmware update because it doesn't have a Blu-Ray drive.
It's possible, although unlikely based on Nintendo's history and stance, that the Wii U could get an update to play 3D Blu-Rays though.
I wouldn'trecommend to someone to buy a Wii U for that possibility though. I remember having this discussion many moons ago about the Wii's possible future update to play DVDs for instance. I was possible, but alas it never came to fruition.
Of course, if you are talking about 3D itself, yes, that's true. Although the TC doesn't seem to be interested in 3D so much as 3D Blu-Rays. I was only speaking about Blu-Rays in my post, not about just 3D by itself.
It doesn't even play blu ray moviesMonsieurXI just assumed that it could, surprised to find out it can't but I guess that does sound like Nintendo.
[QUOTE="AutoPilotOn"]It's lame it doesn't even play regular blu rays. AIIisonYou and Monsieur can go **** off and stop trolling us. You know that it would cost extra to get Bluray in the Wii U and Nintendo systems never played DVD/Blu Ray before. So just **** off if you are going to call the Wii U lame.haha is all I gotta say. Nintendo is not perfect and pointing out something lame is not trolling. Wiiu already uses bluray only extra cost would be licensing. They could do what MS did with original Xbox and make u buy something extra (remote) or maybe a bluray app from eshop for a few bucks that covers that cost.
i would've been happy paying a little extra $ for a blueray player.. especially if it meant getting a more complete entertainment system. kind of a big deal for ppl that do this thing called travel & can't lug around their ps3, wii u, laptop, etc. so next time i travel ill have to decide: do i want to take my ps3 so ill have something to watch movies on too or do i wanna take the wii u & have to buy some crappy blueray player only to end up giving it away when im done.
You wouldn't have paid extra money, because the cost of putting a license into the Wii U is extremely marginal...i would've been happy paying a little extra $ for a blueray player.. especially if it meant getting a more complete entertainment system. kind of a big deal for ppl that do this thing called travel & can't lug around their ps3, wii u, laptop, etc. so next time i travel ill have to decide: do i want to take my ps3 so ill have something to watch movies on too or do i wanna take the wii u & have to buy some crappy blueray player only to end up giving it away when im done.

Nintendo has refused to put even the most basic features in since the n64....do you remember how badly they harmed themselves by not using a disc?
I always buy nintendo systems, but I know up front that they have really specific way of doing things and not to expect them to support x y z features.
