sagat Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 Nintendo is planning to release a DVD option for the Wii. Todays poll is un-scientific but would give an idea of how many people actually play DVD's on thier console be it PS2, XBOX etc PS: Mods make this sticky
The Bard Posted December 14, 2006 Posted December 14, 2006 I would if Wii had the ability (gotta love the pun. Ooooh yeeeeah).
sagat Posted December 14, 2006 Author Posted December 14, 2006 It seem they will implement it in the future though
dabookerman Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Yes. I play DVDs on my consoles, because they are much better then dedicated DVD players, and i dont have to put up with that silly dolby 5.1 surround sound when i can simply enjoy the wonders that is stereo sound. And why would i want to watch Divx/Xvid movies, thats what PCs are for.
Fierce_LiNk Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 At the moment, I've got a standalone DVD player. At home, we have about 2 or 3 dvd players. One in the living room, one in my brother's bedroom, and then an xbox in the frontroom. At the moment, where I'm living, I use a standalone DVD player.
The3rdChildren Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 The 360 upscales DVDs via VGA which qualifes it as my primary DVD player. It will also play HD-DVDs if I can ever find the fucking drive on sale anywhere.
martinist Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 i usually play DVDs on my PS2, i tried playing them on my 360 but i just got in a kuffufle
Domstercool Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I use my 360 to play DVDs. Don't have a DVD player in my bedroom, never have.
Samdecahedron Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 All i use my 360 for nowadays is to play DVDs.
Tom Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 if i had a console that played dvd's I would definitely use it to play dvd's. However, i have a divx capable dvd player in the post so i expect i will use that even once i get a dvd enabled console.
Bren Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 The 360 upscales DVDs via VGA which qualifes it as my primary DVD player. It will also play HD-DVDs if I can ever find the fucking drive on sale anywhere. exactly same for me.
BeerMonkey Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 never have played a dvd on a console...i used to have a dvd player then got a dvd recorder just feel like a console should be used for gaming and nothing else
That Guy Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Yep, I play them on my 360, getting a media remote for it so I don't have to keep using the fecking controller to play them.
mario_jr Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 I just use my DVD player. Its a Panasonic 5.1 home theater type with VCR:hmm:
Bren Posted December 15, 2006 Posted December 15, 2006 Yep, I play them on my 360, getting a media remote for it so I don't have to keep using the fecking controller to play them. Ai i would hate to have to use the controller. Thank god i got the mini media remote with my 360 xD
Zell Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Until very recently, the only DVD player in the house was my PS2. Didn't need one really, we recorded stuff with good old VHSs. Although now I just watch dvds on my laptop, much more handy.
That Guy Posted December 16, 2006 Posted December 16, 2006 Ai i would hate to have to use the controller. Thank god i got the mini media remote with my 360 xD Yeah, I was hoping you still got one when I bought my 360, but getting one for christmas so DVD watching should be much less annoying now. I especially hate when you have to change an episode or something and it's fecking gone and switched itself off.
fanman Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 The only console I have that plays them is PS2, and I haven't played a dvd on it for approximatly 4 years. Wait... does the first x-box play dvds? I haven't even tried on that...
Bren Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 yeh it does. How can you not watch dvds xD i love em.
c0Zm1c Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 I watch them on my Xbox 360, so I don't need DVD playback on my Wii.
AshMat Posted December 18, 2006 Posted December 18, 2006 None of my consoles play DVDs, so now i play them on my dvd player.
Kurtle Squad Posted December 19, 2006 Posted December 19, 2006 Nope, I use my Multi region player so I can get Anime & Kaiju DVDs not released in PAL. I'll soon be using it for South Park too.
