The humble Nintendo Entertainment System has been everything from a lunchbox to a guitar, but for those who like the classic experience of putting media in and getting entertainment out will be intrigued by this latest mod that turns the console into a fully functioning DVD player.
A little more complex than simply putting a DVD player inside an NES case, with some modifications required to output a higher quality signal from the box, it still looks pretty amazing to see a disc going into an NES.
Website Instructables has the list of necessary tools and instructions, so if you have a broken NES and an unattractive DVD player then this could be the project for you.

That's pretty cool! Hope the NES controller acts as a DVD remote
So cool.
Whoah... that to go along with some NES bedsheets and I'll be set.
Thats sweet, i want the mod were theres a wii in the NES now thats a mod i want:D
Already saw this last year on youtube. still cool though!
whoah.
WHOAH.
WHOOAAH.
but seriously, that is downright awesome.
An NES DVD player?
Whats next? an N64 Toaster O.o
no way, next up will be a wii inside an NES :3
Yeah that's cool and all but maybe I fail to see the point. Sure it would be neat to show off at first, but if you have 20 things turned into NES's in your house its gonna get pretty redundant fast. Besides, its bulkier than a standard DVD player anyway. Now if it was Blue-Ray, or even PS3 inside of an NES, that would be hilarious.
@9 I agree. Its cool but I have nowhere to put it in my rig.If someone does a PS3 mod though I'll be all over it.
Awesome!
Wow, those directions on that site really were terrible
googled Wii in an NES for ya:

Pretty cool, but I want it to work with NES controllers... Still gamecube controller hookups is a nice touch.
lol and the donkey is watching Lost. Way to instantly lose my respect.
I bet he takes that DVD out and puts in a season of Dancing with the Stars right afterword...then pauses it to watch a rerun of NCIS.
TV is terrible now.
Oooooooooooooooh Lost!
Ok, I want one!
The way that message was phrased, I get the feeling @14 is a closet fan of Lost and more than a little partial to a night in watching Dancing With The Stars :3

Interesting... a NES DVD player... why have one when you can have a TV with a built-in DVD player? :3
That's pretty awesome...
@14
New Ultimate Fighter, Always Sunny in Philly, postseason baseball(Go Twins), and new south park on the way i cant find any reason not to watch tv lately.

Hmm... an N64 toaster doesn't sound half bad. It's already a top-loader
I need to fire up the DeLorean and take this NES back to 1985 with me... "Feast you eyes upon the media of the future". Be our luck we'd all be playing Blue Ray Super Nintendo's by 1991
"...so if you have a broken NES and want an unattractive DVD player then this could be the project for you." -- hahaha. That crack about the unattractive DVD player was good.
Do want.
Haha that's great.
Fail. Some people have put computers in the NES which will play DVD's and who knows what else.
(rolls eyes )
It's awesome that they could make an NES Wii out of the original NES hardware, now I want them to make a GameCube Wii (complete with High Speed Port and LAN/Moden adapters) so that I could play my Game Boy Player as well as all my Wii and GameCube games in one console.
