The other $50 Nintendo took from my wallet this weekend
Call me crazy, but these days the main purpose of my Wii has been to entertain while friends are over. No console is better equipped for this as just about anybody can pick up a Wii remote and figure out how to play, Nintendo designed it this way.

The interwebs are abuzz today as word spreads that Nintendo does not plan on including DVD or Blu-ray playback on Wii U. Lots of negativity directed towards Nintendo about this decision has popped up on forums message boards, and even here on Infendo. Quite frankly, I fail to see why this is a big deal when I can head over to Amazon and find a Blu-ray player on the cheap.
