This is a really intriguing work around for a function that is bizarrely missing from the Wii U. Though, they claimed that almost everyone at this point has a dvd player already, so they kept the cost of the system down by not including that technology. I can understand that I guess. That also makes me question why anyone would really want to go through this just to watch a dvd. You're using a computer to download this software and rip the dvd, why not just watch it on your computer, or even find a site to stream it online? Seems a bit convoluted.
