Sooo cool... the Wii now has an browser built into it!

it's now time to browse SL on my flatscreen in the living room!
Man... this brings laziness to a whole new level, as you just point at the screen!

oh, the fun Christmas toys!

Hahah you got a Wii, too! Awesome. I got mine on launch day in November and I downloaded the web browser when it came out on Friday.

Yeah, we've had the Wii for a while now and just got some high speed, routered internet in our house a few days ago. I need to get going on getting the Wii online!

^^ Nope. Not as far as I know, anyway. If there are 360 homebrewers out in the audience, I'm pretty sure they might know.

TIM: I'm at 8635 5580 2993 8240 ... if I have internet when I get home, I'll be sure to add you and send you my Miis.

Most of the other SL Wii owners are over here:

Funny that I saw this on the main page. Im actually on my Wii typing this to you now. It takes a lot of effort to type sentences. haha. But good thing they have the keypad. Sometimes photos load quicker on here than my G5. My wiimote eats batteries worse than my 360 controller.

Whoa. You can surf the net on a Wii? Holy schnikes!

Ok, some questions:

- Is it like the real internet, or is it some sort of horrible transmorgified experience ala the old interent tv?

- Can you do you anything on the WiiTernet that you can at any other interet terminal?

- Is there a Keyboard periphreal available, or do you point at the screen?

- Is there any speed differences?

- Do you have to pay extra, or just get the Wii and plug into your cable internet provider?


TANTA....D, have you tried using Lithium Ion batteries as opposed to alkelines?

- Is there any speed differences? depends on your internet speed

Excellent. I was already thinking about getting one of these for my girl's birthday, and this pretty much seals the deal.

Don't suppose it has a photo editor? :question:

It has some Photo channel idk what for since i still have not used it but it must have some kind of use.

PD to those PS3 owners glad you got it but I'm more happy that I can play:
Super Mario Bros (NES)
Street Fighter 2 (SNES)
Legend of Zelda (NES)
R-Type (TurboGraf16)
Super Mario 64 (N64)
WiiPlay (Wii)
LoZ: Twilight Princess (Wii)

vs.

Resistance: Fall of Man :lalala:

oh by the way I'll get the PS3 when GT5 comes out and I may be able to play in full 1080p not a second before!

From the channel menu, go to the envelope icon on the bottom right corner. From there there will be three icons in the middle of the screen. Click the right one to open your address book. On the FIRST page, there will be a 16-digit code that says "console code". That's your Wii ID.

I said it in another thread, and I'll say it again. If you bought the Wii looking for graphics that'll beat the PS3's or even the 360's graphics, then you're in for a disappointment. I bought a Wii knowing full well that it wasn't going to be a PS2 killer, let alone a PS3 killer, I bought it because the games *gasp* looked fun to play *double gasp!* I'm not gonna lie, I still want a PS3, but there was no way in hell I was going to shell out that much money on launch day for horrible launch titles and potential bricked units during the first run. We all know Sony's long-running history with first runs of systems that sucked and they never got it right until the third or fourth issue of the same system.

I'm not planning on throwing the dough down for a 1080 screen anytime soon, so that's why I'm looking at the Wii. Nintendo also has a history of making games with extreme fun factor, despite the gore and graphics available on the other systems.

cool thanks i will check it out after my sister and cousin are done with rayman.


i bought the wii because i had the gamecube and love nintendo games. i knew the wii wasnt made for graphics since it can only run at 480p with components. wii is all about fun factor and great mutli player games.


already pre ordered mario party 8 and wii play which is suppose to have a game similar to duck hunt.
