lol, and why the f--k would Nintendo fit the drive of the failing format in the Wii? Not to mention 8.5GB of storage space in a console which is more or less a Gamecube which only had 1.5GB of storage space is plenty. All the textures and stuff will be smaller on the Wii so why would it need HD-DVD or blu-ray? Not to mention it would raise the price aswell.
Craptastic HD-DVD/Microsoft fanboy.

Could you please tone down the mouth frothing and head spinning - this is a forum for debate, not for you to air you dirty laundry of anti-Microsoft zealotry.
Who said about replacing the format in Wii; the HD-DVD drive for XBox 360 is an external drive; I'm sure that the Wii has a port which allows expansion if need be.
If an HD-DVD player can be added, then it would open the possibility of it being used as a HD-DVD player for HD-DVD content - which increases the pool of possible customers which HD-DVD producers can aim their movies at.
Again, less mouth foaming, more mature debate please.

Well, there are rumours they might do a refresh; I'm surprised they haven't done that yet, or bought in a 'XBox 360 HD Deluxe Pack" loaded with an DVD drive pre-installed along with 5 free movies (or something to that effect).
For me, I'm looking at getting a Nintendo Wii; what would really kill the BluRay is if Nintendo and Microsoft work together and come out with an HD-DVD drive for Nintendo - then Nintendo start releasing HD-DVD games for it.
