The library circulates Wii videogames. These games can be played on the Nintendo Wii gaming console. RCPL offers a wide selection of Wii titles. Learn more about Wii games from our online videogame reviews in the gaming section of the RCPL Is Talking About blog.
Blu-ray Discs
Blu-ray discs offer video in high definition. They are the same size as DVDs, but have a much higher storage capacity. Because of this increased storage ability, blu-ray discs are reputed to have much better sound and video quality. They must be played on a blu-ray player. Blu-ray players will also play your standard DVDs. The Play Station 3 will also play blu-ray discs at full resolution.
