Are you a Wii fan left somewhat disgruntled by Nintendo's decision not to include DVD playback in their machine? Would you have paid more for its integration? Well, if you're handy with modding then DVD playback could well be yours - if you're prepared to swiftly void your warranty. Though, who's heard of the Wii breaking down? It's not like it's made by Microsoft (hohoho).

Now homebrewers Team Symbiote have developed Wii Media Player MFE, which allows gamers to play actual DVDs on their console with one catch - you'll have to mod your Wii first, voiding the warranty in the process.

If the fuss of performing surgery on your Wii isn't bad enough, Wiinja reports that the mod will also cause significant damage to your console's laser over time, given that it isn't built to function non-stop as is necessary to play DVDs.
