American nintendo pres ident reggie has said that the DVd capable version comming late 07 might even have a HD player and support 1080? resolution he said that its not impossible but will be through Wiiconnect 24 as it needs a new drive it will come at an extra cost he also saidf that HD was on the table when Wii was being produced but owuld have added another 100us or more onto the final price thus being the reason it lacks it

i doupt this
here is why if nintendo released a hd dvd version of there wii console people would sue on a royal scale and nintendo would go bankrupt
because nintendo would have to provide a update to its wii customers to upgrade that currently own the wii console
also your information is bull because the nintendo wii already supports 1080i and even 480i right out of the box

the console is native in 480p by the way check the system settings
my wii is running in 480p nativly without a hd component cable because the wii uses HDTV stepdown
samething that allows ps3 users to use content on a regular non hd tv

Up to 480p[63](NTSC) or 576p (PAL/SECAM), will work with any TV or projector.
Component (including Progressive scan), RGB SCART,[64] S-Video, or composite output.
16:9 anamorphic widescreen.[63]
That is of Wiki!
You're wrong

tabletpc seems to have gone fanatic on this one.
I've got the system, and I've got the component cables. It does not perform at 1080i. I love the system, but it was known on day one. Even the packaging of the cables tells you that by switching to the high-def component cables, you can get stunning 480p resolution. Which, in english, means that they basically pull out the interlacing scanlines. It's nice, and definitely makes the gameplay prettier, but the system does not do 1080i output.
A DVD-capable version has been confirmed, and will likely hit the states (Unlike the temporary japan-only toshiba dvd version of the GCN) however, a high-def version might support 1080i in the future, but there honestly isn't much point to it anyway. The system won't support 720p or 1080p and that's enough for me to comfortably state that the system will never support 'good' HD. 1080i is the poor man's high def; and if the system started supporting it, I would still go with 480p. 1080i is TECHNICALLY higher quality, but scanlines make it look worse. I'll stick with Progressive scan myself.

lol; I doubt he'll really listen to me.
So many people are stuck on the 'hd stepdown' thing, and don't get it. Everyone thinks it's some new technological idea or something. All it means is that your tv can't interpret an image without scanlines, so it doesn't. It doesn't mean your tv is showing a higher quality image, it just means the system automatically renders in 480p. But the difference between what is rendered, and what is seen can be two very different things. The best part? A regular S-Video cable will send out the same 480p image that the component hookup will. S-Video has been around well over a decade, and already sports 480p resolution. It is an upgrade, but it's not considered 'High Def' by any technical means. It's more in the realm of EDTV(Extra Definition Television), which was a cheap knockoff of HDTV that some manufacturers started slapping on as a 'feature' with new non-hd televisions. It was technically not lying, because 480i is standard, so you can legally say that 480p is 'extra' definition, and it's true; but it's been available for SO long that it's hardly anything special. I use Progressive scan on my Dreamcast. (If only the lightguns would read on my HD screen...)

P.S what p or i does the well anything via comonent run an image if you connect the components to a Tube TV that has components I have a Viera in the lounge and a Phillips Tube Tv in the room and has S-video and Component is plugging s-video instead of component into a normal tube TV better or vise versa??

This may sound weird, so bear with me here...
i=interlaced: The image displayed on your tv screen contains what are called 'scanlines' in between each rendered row of pixels. They are very small, and tend to remain completely unnoticed to most viewers. The original intent was to allow broadcasters to be able to share a bigger, cleaner appearing image with the same (incredibly limited) amount of radio-broadcasting bandwidth; because color images were originally too hard to broadcast in the same quality. Most cable subscribers, who don't have high def or digital cable, are still recieving this kind of signal.
p=progressive: This image does not necessarily reflect smaller pixels or a 'sharper' image by any means. Instead, it reflects that the scanlines are not rendered. The image sent to the television does not contain the 'every other line' method used by most televisions, and actually has enough horizontal lines to fill the television set. By adding these lines instead of the black scanlines, the image becomes clearer and more 'natural' looking, because it is fuller.
scanlines=Evil. Tiny black lines put between every rendered line on interlaced images. Not noticed by most users, who haven't become familiar with higher quality or high definition images.
Now, as for YOUR televisions, they may or may not support 480p; but it's certainly worth a try, most users do report a higher quality image regardless of whether there tv will actually show the image without scanlines, because the 'stepdown' effect gives your tv more information to work with when creating an interlaced image; so it may appear stronger even if your tv doesn't truly support Progressive scan on it's own.

I will say that I think the Wii could possibly support higher resolutions someday. But I'm pretty sure it doesn't have good enough hardware specs to play HD-DVD. I say this becuase I believe the Xbox was kind of similar to the Wii as far as specs go (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The Xbox could do HD games and I believe they pretty much all at 720p at the highest resolution and the others ran at 480p, but I would highly doubt that if some way you could hook a HD-DVD drive up to the original Xbox it would play at a resolution higher than 480p. As you can see this would be pointless, and even though the Wii is more powerful than the Xbox I'm possitive it wouldn't do 1080p. Partly because you can't get HDCP through component cables, and also because it takes some pretty good specs to produce lag free 1080p. Even the 360 struggles to produce 1080p without overheating badly. So just as a guess I would say that the Wii as most could produce 720p video. This would be nice but I don't know how many people would go for HD-DVD that wasn't offered in 1080p. And if they did do this I would think that they would have to basiclly rebuild the console, and once again I don't know of too many people that would go for that either. This is just all my opinion, so if I'm wrong on anything sorry and please let me know.

Why does Nintendo always come out with a better version of something like 1 or 2 years after the product to screw ppl over. Just like the DS and GBA...
so the new wii will be even more expensive....figures.
PS3...it only does everything(that Sony allows it to)

if u have an lcd then 480p will just look like a normal TV.
I have an lcd and everything on 480i looks like crap. 480p looks about the same as if i used av cables on a regular tv.

There is a big difference in 480i and 480p. An example being the difference between standard cable or sat compared to Progressive scan DVD. S-Video does not carry 480p, it is just a little bit better than composite but the difference is not huge. If you were buying better cables for a game console it would be well worth the difference in price to get component cables rather than S-Video. I wouldn't recomend S-Video unless it was your only option becides composite.

Whats the big deal anyway i have an xbox 360 and and it looks fine to me sure it would be nice if i could afford a nice LCD tv but at the end of the who really cares the Wii was made for everybody i looks great cant wait to get here on Dec 7th but i really hate when they Fancy up all the consoles with features only a fraction of the people would use i use my 360 for games and dvds and on the odd occasion i will play a cd through it im never gonna use it to stream videos and crap like that i think that the wii is great the way its and standard def is enough look on the bright side its gonna be cheap (compared to the other consoles) and great fun and it great that release a resonably price console
