I don't see the short term benefit to this, but by the time the long term benefits kick in (Blu-ray replacing standard DVD as the preferred video media disc), the accessory will probably be useless since the console cycle will likely have ended and the next Microsoft console would probably have a Blu-ray drive built in..... and the Wii2 will readily allow DVD usage after the death of DVD.
They'll probably charge about the same as cheap Blu-ray player for the accessory because they're Microsoft.
But honestly, with netflix streaming, and this instant 1080 streaming they're boasting, I don't see the point.
