    -No news on a magazine, Nintendo Power will probably cover all Wii news

    B. When is the black Wii coming out? I want that for Xmas.

    -Not confirmed yet. Probably won't be in by Christmas, though. So far only the white Wii has been featured for sale and for Christmas shopping.

    C. - I don't know

    D. What will be better probly, horizontal or verticle stance on it.. Hmm.. I forget which was better/worse for the PS2..

    -Vertical is the best way, it doesn't sit horizontal. :lol:

    E- Dunno

    F. What can it play as far as DVD-R, DVD+R, CD+R, CDRW, Etc.

    DVD attatchment will be sold in the future, as well as MAYBE a new Wii with one built in. Doesn't play music to my knowledge, and I dunno wat CDRW is.

    Its just a game system. No fancy attatchments that can be bought for your TV for $30 or anything.

    I heard it could play music off of a SD card.

    I'm not quite sure on that, but I think its true.
