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 :)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

I watch them on my Xbox 360, so I don't need DVD playback on my Wii.

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.
