The bias seems to be more against F1 style racing than the game itself. Think of it as Arena Football or a College Baseball game. You can't polish a turd.

All videogames are toys. Even teh Cell!!1!!11 I disagree, the 360 and PS3 are high definition entertainment systems. My wife has a Wii and she seems to like it. It's fun for parties and stuff but nothing I really consider a real gaming system like the 360 or the PS3. Some gaming, especially many shooters and such, can be considered an adult hobby. Wii doesn't serve that purpose. It's like taking those plastic kid's golf clubs to the US Open.
You seem quite naive about the subject. Narcissistic would probably be a more apt description.

You should be pleased.

Happy 14th b-day! Did you get any new games? No! Im sure he got 'mature challenge experiences' or some stuffed shirt alternative name. I wonder what lemmings will think of to replace the word 'games'. Actually, I turned 30 two days ago. At this age gaming is considered more of a hobby. Something to do when you don't have to mow the yard, bring work home, or listen to my wife rant and rave about things I dont' care about. I want the best experience possible. That means a 56" 1080p set, decent home theater setup, etc. If I want to make the best use of those things then a Wii simply doesn't do it justice. It's expensive but at this stage in my life I really don't care anymore.

Nintendo is doing a fantastic job. They are one of the best run companies in the world and they should be commended for it. However, that doesn't mean I'm not wrong. Britney Spears sold more albums than Jimmie Hendrix, but one is for kids and the other isn't. Unless you have really cool kids.

HDCP does not allow VGA specifically. The reason it works is because they never thought anyone would use the connection for movie players and was left out of the specifications barring component transfer. So it works.
However, the problem is that many TV's won't accept a 1080p signal via the VGA port. In those cases you are limited to a maximum of 1080i.
Addressing VC-1 and Bluray. There are several VC-1 movies available now on Bluray. It totally depends on the studio as to what they encode the movie in. Even so, the method of encoded does not determine picture quality. Crank on Bluray is considered on of the best looking HD movies available, on Bluray or HD-DVD, and it's encoded in MPEG-2. Kingdom of Heaven is superb and is in AVC. The orginal source content and available bitrate is the crucial as well.
Regarding Superman Returns, it doesn't matter. The picture quality isn't that great on either HD-DVD or Bluray. It's better than DVD by a longshot but not as great as it should be.
The Pirates movies coming out in May. Disney has said they will each be two disc sets. The movie itself will be on a dual layer 50GB disc with full features. Additional features will be included on a 25GB single layer disc. It should be amazing.
