It was always assumed that a newer model of the Wii would come out in the near future with DVD play back capabilities, now we know that it is true and will certainly be taking place. Thanks to an e-mail GoNintendo received from Nintendo.

Also, as you know, Nintendo and Sonic Solutions have made an agreement to allow Nintendo the use of Sonic Solutions� DVD technology in a future version of the Wii console.

Details were not confirmed as to when it would launch, however the e-mail did state that information pertaining to the launch will be released later this year. DVD capabilities will not be released for current Wii’s as an add-on and the Wii with DVD playback will be considerably more expensive than the current Wii.

To be honest I don’t see much point in upgrading to a Wii with DVD playback capabilities as a cheap DVD player will work fine. I do not see myself getting a new Wii just for DVD playback.
