Hm, big call...if it as much trouble as the X-Box was for playing DVDs, it's just a waste of time.

Whether if this is april fools or not, why would this be a "cool"? Wouldn't this be more of a "wow finall Nintendo" didn't the PS2 have the ability to watch DVDs? I think the original Xbox did too, I don't remember though. I expected the Wii to be able to play DVDs from the start...

Next time provide a link. But since you just made that up, I guess it's not surprising that you provided no proof to back up your statements.

You can't update it to play DVDs in just a firmware update. You fail at jokes.

I've successfully played a DVD on my Wii through unmentionable means. A firmware update to play DVD's is entirely possible.

it says on wikipedia, nintendo were planning on releasing an updated wii model which had a dvd drive, but to be able to play dvd's you need a whole new drive and not just an update. it was delayed due to the mass numbers that were bought over christmas and people still waiting to buy one. but couldnt this mean it may be easier for pirate/back-up discs to be played on them?

I know what you are talking about. Don't try it ever again! It can damage your lens.

LOL! Yeah, I have 11 in the house and one in my car. This has to be a joke as Nintendo has been shooting down DVD playback from the beginning. They are a stubborn company (as most Japanese ones are) and don't go back on their word for the sake of honor and reputation.

I already have a PS3 and 360 but my I put my Wii in my living room. It would be nice to dump my cheap DVD player out there and be able to use my Wii instead.

Anyone can change that stuff. It said that Stephen King was born in 1881, its been changed since, but Wiki is not reliable.

If they implement a DVD Player, they would have to change the hardware, not the software

If true, that's pretty cool, but please keep the exclamatory punctuation to a reasonable level.
