Wii goes DVD in 2007

So....  I've been toying with buying one of these because:

 a) I love my DS

b) I have a bunch of GameCube games

c) I want the virtual console

 One of the things that has bothered me though was the fact the Wii was not capable of DVD playback.  Not a deal-killer by any means, but somehting I wanted.  Well Nintendo has announced that North America will now get the DVD enabled Wii next year. Now many people have said the DVD playback doesnt matter now that DVD players are a dime a dozen and everything on the planet plays them.  These folks dont have kids.  I want my Ninty console to be a one-stop entertainment stop for my two boys when we go on a trip.  Its small, compact and perfect for packing on the summer vacation.  I'd love to pack a couple of Pixar movies along with the games and I don't want them anywhere near my laptop.

So I'm willing to pay for this feature -- an extra 30 bucks or so would be OK with me -- glad to see the Big N coming around.
