OK, I knew about the colors, but thought the price was rather good already....

Here's the link

Nifty...also they are getting dvd drives too eventually. I heard in January but I'm not too sure anymore.

Kinda makes me wish I had waited so I could get one that has DVD capabilities and is black.

However, the white ones are pretty pimpin'.

I could be wrong [just got my wii this morning], but I'm guessing the only difference in the 'new' wii in january will be a new firmware version pre-installed that has dvd playback and the internet channels already enabled, while the rest of us will download them through updates. It is possible that the dvd playback might end up being a channel that has to be purchased, but I don't see there being any hardware changes required to enable it (or at least I hope not).

Ya I hope not too Sad

. It'd be nice to watch DVD's on my tv and not have to use my PC all the time.

Wii's not getting DVD playback in a firmware upgrade.

True...but it's too bad. That could have been a real easy way to use WiiLi Live. Still, I guess you could mod and do that.
