yea bummer about wii stuff, i wonder if thats something some ones working on. I remember, eons ago now right before the wii launched, the press were doing their reviews and some one, i think on destructoid, was going through it and they mentioned that there was an option in the menus for 720p but it was for component cable only and of course they werent out yet. When the system launched the day one patch removed that option and i have always thought that was a bummer ever since. there were pics and everything but i cant find anything about it any more.
oh well, but yea i'll keep using discs where i can. GC i cant it seems so i'll have to dig out my old IDE drive that can read them and rip em that way when i get to it. i feel like there should be a way for the Wii u to read those too if they can read regular wii discs
