I own a Wii myself - and it does what it was designed to do well (which is Wii Sports basically) - apart from that, I wouldn't waste my time.

That's not 'fanboy' criticism, that's sound electronics advice from someone who knows what they're talking about.

Take it or leave it.

You asked why anyone would want one. I had already answered the question in the opening post, and so quoted it since you missed it. A: Because it's a freebie. The fanboy comment had nothing to do with you, it was in the context of the original post.

They're cheap. This is free. Considering DVDs are on their way out anyway, I don't aim to spend anything extra on DVD hardware.
