this is the same thing as the Q

I don't think it really matters to anyone

Yeah, I expect it'll sell just as well as the Q also.

What are Wii discs anyway? DVDs?

That's a good question. If they are DVD's this update would only need to be a software package, which any Wii owner could download.

Anyone know for sure if Wii discs are DVDs or a proprietary format?

[Chux]

Well, dreamcast discs were a tad different, but they still figured that shit out. WASUP BOOT DISC WITH THE MOOSE.

[Yoshi]

God damn it. I really needed a tenth DVD player, but I don't want to wait.

Physically they're the same as DVDs but much like the GC discs were different than just Mini-DVDs, the Wii discs store information on the disc in a different way than DVDs.

Hmmmmm.... this seems to be Nintendo's first big screw-up.

First?

[Shin Johnpv]

First?

yeah this really isn't even a screw up it's just Q version 2.0

they're real first major screw up was going with carts instead of cds, or the whole green blood thing at the start of the SNES era
