WTH, what was Nintendo excuse for not adding that. That feature shouldn't even required any extra hardware, probably a few software adjustments. My Sega CD, the great grand daddy of CD games could play an Audio CD, even CD+G.

Not embarrasing if you didn't own the original Xbox. :D I'm a Sony defecter , and my PS2 played PSX games.

You know, normally I wouldn't care about something so irrelevant to gaming when it comes to the Wii, but this is just kinda weird how you can listen to MP3s on the photo channel but not listen to a CD. I mean, it's not something that I would use as ammunition against sheep, but kinda weird.

yeah, nintendo didn't want to pay the rights to put a DVD/CD player in there. they stated that it would be an "entertainment center" not a video game console. yet everything else they do is a media center with photo channel and weather and such. still baffling why they didn't spend the extra few $ to get DVD support.

Will Wii read an audio CD if you insert one into it?

c_smithii

To the guy who complained about his toaster not making coffee:

You are embarrasing yourself. That is one of the lamest excuses I've ever heard. Wii's hardware is pathetic - absolutely pitiful for that matter. Casuals would probably be pissed about this (if they actually used their Wiis :lol: ), and you know it. Playing a CD is one of the mostbasic features disc reading machine these days has; and by not having one, the Wii has cemanted itself is place as the most patheitc piece of technology ever vomited forth by Nintendo.

Well, the Wii does have somewhat an advantage in BC, unless you consider any PS3 SKU before the 40GB and call PS1's and PS2's collections superior to GC and VC.

I watch DVD's on my PS2, mainly because it is the only DVD player hooked up to the TV in the basement where the consoles are. Why wouldI want a console to play CD's when my computer can play them in 5.1 surround sound?

XD. I guess casuals don't buy wiis then because no one has complaind of this yet. And as you said they would care... So it guess it's just Core Gamers buying the Wii.

Wow, Uncle_Uzi, you got owned pretty hard there. Two great points that put a twist on your failed attempt to bash a video game machine from playing music.

JuarN18 brings up a really good point. Microsoft, you know, those guys who dab a bit in the computer and internet world failed to get a simple web browser on their console before that "patheitc piece of technology," otherwise known as the Nintendo Wii.

I guess every system has their pros and cons, or is that a concept you disagree with as well?
