I know I heard this somewhere.

I think the Wii U will be compatable with DVDs. That would actually be nice for me because my DVD player sucks. But I think Nintendo likes to focus on whats important, the games. The PS3 has a Blu-Ray player, and I think of it more as a multi-media device. Nintendo's primary focus is games, so maybe it wont be added. But I did hear about a DVD player somewhere.

What do you think?

If it can have DVD's, go ahead and name it a main console.

It is already up there now.

[HaoSenVastForest]

Wernt we just confirmed that it had no DVD compatiblity? Instead I think that it had Netflix and not DVD or Blue ray. Also I wouldnt want it because then it would just cost more than it would without it.

I believe they've already confirmed that it won't have a DVD player...and the addition of that would be ridiculous, honestly. Most people already HAVE a DVD or Blu-Ray player in their house.

Well, They said it won't play DVD's, probably to make it cheaper. I bet it is capable of playing DVD's, though, if you hack it, kind of like the Wii. Who knows, you might even be able to make it play Blu-rays.

No. This is complete crap. Nintendo is a GAME company, they sell and make GAMES and GAME consoles. They don't have the experitese to put in a DVD player, and it's not a smart idea. Everyone has a DVD player nowdays, so why the hell do we need one in a console? The logical choice would be Blu-ray but that's been disporoven after the system launched. To think that topics like this still exist bug me to no end.

Ugh, I feel embarresed.

I don't know if Ninty already confirmed, but I'm going to say a big fat "NO!" Wii U isn't a PS3. It isn't made by Sony. Sony actually made Blu-Ray (I may be wrong). So it would make sense to incorporate it. No contracts, no deal, just themselves. Now, Ninty is A GAME COMPANY!!! I don't think they made DVDs, so it would have to settle with contracts. OK, I think I'm wrong about the contract thing..... asuiegh;ogrfna

The point is: NO!

Sony was part of making the Blu-ray. There was several other companies involved too.

it would substantually raise the cost . if you want to watch movies you should just get netflix or something on it

[Deadly Virus]

Eh, DVD players don't really matter anymore. They were a selling point 10 years ago when the technology was new and not many people had them, but the absence of one in the Wii U won't harm it like it did the Gamecube. What sells the Wii U will be nothing other than the games, the more time and money that Nintendo put towards that, the better.

[HaoSenVastForest]

All I have to say is I don't play on my counsels to watch DVDs or Blue-ray disks. I play em to play da games not watch DVD and besides it would just inflate the price! I think that it would be really expensive without it! So I really wouldnt mind it without one and I would actually like it more without it!

[Turboblaze]

It won`t have one. Besides, I`d rather the Wii U have features of things that I don`t already have, like being a Wii U.

[Soul]

They could make two versions a dvd version and a normal one. It can be called Wii u and Wii u V. Wii u V can stand for wii u vision since you see blu-ray movies.

[StarFoxWiiU1]

Lucky it doesn't have a DVD player or Blu-ray because then the Wii U will be over 400$.
