I think an HD version of the Wii would have been a much smarter choice than a black Wii. Going out and forking over another few hundred dollars for an HD Wii is much more sensible than spending a few hundred dollars for a black Wii when you already have a white Wii. On the other hand, I'd rather see Nintendo make a new HD next-gen system rather than make an HD version of the Wii.

Unfortunately, making the Wii non-HD was one of Nintendo's many mistakes in the context of hardcore gaming. The Wii seems to be largely marketed for families, so non-HD is fine for that target demographic. But for those of us who are more hardcore, it's a major drawback.

It's also a fact that Wii sales have started to decline. And nodoubt everyone one who wanted one no doubt has one by now.

That's what popular, non-necessary items do over-time, especially when it's something that you only have to buy once for your family to enjoy. Even so, the Wii's still selling at a pace that trumps any other gaming system you can think of for the amount of time it's been out not named the DS. The Wii's idea of "declining" would typically be the HD systems' idea of a really good month. Let's not forget that. :P

True indeed. However Both Sony and Microsoft are always updating theire consoles with newer features like being slimmer and having bigger hard-drives and it boosts sales. Wouldn't hurt Nintendo to atleast update there console too with HD720p after all have you seen those Emulated Wii games on youtube? being in 720p makes the games look frigging fantastic with no jaggies.

I would gladly pay 200$ or whatever forHD wii. Since i can't play my Wii because my TV is too big and playing a 480p console on a 1080p TV is too bad. It's all blurly and crap.

Well don't you think they need to remodel the whole system? You need to right graphics card like the 360 runs on 500MHz ATI Xenos, Good memory like 512MB of GDDR3 RAM clocked at 700MHz, Good sound out puts like Analog stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 etc.

While PS3 runs on the CPU 3.2 GHz Cell Broadband engine, the graphics (runs at 550Mz Nvidia/ SCEI RSX Reality Synthesizer, plus runs on different video outputs. Like HDMI runs on 480p,576p,720p,1080i and 1080p, D-Terminal, Component, RGB, Composite Video, etc.

A big work if it needs to run on HD.

well with ylod it has nothing to do with hard drive. its just the gpu and cpu (the 2 big squares on motherboard) got over heated and seperated from it. so all you gotta do is heat it up with a heat gun and your good to go. if your worried about dust you can go to one of computers stores like frys, and buy one of those computer made vacuums that sucks dust out without damaging anything

Yeah i figure that and thats why i know i'm not at a lost yet. I did get the enclosure kit and think that might help. I know already that it won't work on computer. I will say it will be a surprise if they fix it and send it back. My only concern is just getting my games file so i can use them. if i have to wait for it to be repaired that fine.

yep YLOD
you can't save your files now
maybe if you can find someone to quick fix it then find a way to back it up
then go out and buy a slim
it's what i did

I'm having a blast right now with Mario Galaxy 2 but after days playing it i have noticed something strange. Were are the cool spherical planets available in the original Mario Galaxy? I remeber how awsome it was staring playing the first stage and discovering you could walk all the way dow the planet and find routes and different things that weren't on the top side. From what i played so far in Galaxy 2 there arent stages like this.
