Don't actually have my WiFi on anymore, so I don't use my Wii online, but I'll probably connect it up temporarily and download the update anyway. Been playing my Wii a bit more lately, decided I need to get as much use as possible out of it before the price falls so that I can feel paying full price was worth it :laugh:

j/k, my Wii is great and better value than the PS3 or 360 (although if the 360 sorts out its reliability then I would consider buying one).

Oh mussels, if you ever figure that out, let me know.

Im amazed at these mini pcs called consoles. The fact is, PS3 alone is a computer with an HD playback on an lcd or plasma tv. Hell, you can upgrade the hard disk and play games on it...too bad pc games wont work....yet ::HAHA::
