Wii Can’t Play DVDs

'Cat and Wii' by plynoiSo, I just had my second tech+movie related issue in the last week. The Nintendo Wii can’t play DVDs?!?

I know, I know. I probably should have known this — somehow. But you just figure, it is 2007 2008 and it uses disks that at least resemble DVDs. I also know that the Wii doesn’t cost anywhere close to the XBox 360 or Playstation 3; so I am sure that it doesn’t use Blu-Ray or HD DVD disks. Is it a proprietary disk format or did they just not worry about movies? I’m guessing it has to be the later.

Oh well… I just wish I had checked before I took down the old XBox. I was really looking forward to seeing Blade Runner for the first time too. I have no idea how I have haven’t seen what is, by all accounts, one of the classic sci-fi movies of all time.
