Elklander: Yeah that's pretty much what I want it for. I may wait a year or so to see if the Wii gets any good online FPS's but I don't think so. I love the way the controls work on the wii for FPS's but the game quality hasn't been great.

Yea, I'd give it some time, you never know whats waitin round the corner to come out. Can you talk to other people over Wii online (or whatever the dubbed it?)

Yeah you can get friend codes and messege eachother and when the online games come out you'll be able to find them, much like gamertags i suppose. I also got a browser on the wii as well as news and weather.

That'd be prety sweet if Xbox Live had the current weather on the "dashboard" (the main page where you can acess all online things.) That sucks not being able to communicate via headset though, thats half the fun.

Nintendo is new to online, it could be an option down the road.

Not sooooo new the gamecube could go online but there was little interst in it. The DS has been great online. I enjoy getting destroyed by the Japanese at Mario Kart.

Haha, I tried playing whatever the new Tony Hawk is online with my friend's DS. It's not as much fun on dial-up (I hope).

After playing the Wii in store, I don't think they've made the games more fun with their "innovation". More frustrating, perhaps. It was like playing a GameCube, but with more anger and cursing on my part. I think the GameCube will be the last system I buy, especially with the way prices for games and stuff are. For that kind of money they could at least make them fun. No, actually, the LEAST they could do is have the games go to work for you and make your breakfast.
You go outside and practice screaming. We'll play music while you're gone.

Oh, didn't know that. Is the DS wireless like the PSP, or do you need to hardwire it?

Once it's repaired, it's going on ebay... PS3 time...

Some schools around our area have been promoting that Dance Dance Revolution game in physical education classes..... I played it once and it didn't give me too much of a workout... But for kids that are already overweight it does offer something fun to do to get some exercise....

It's wireless. The server and the connect are actually really fast and really reliable. No dropouts and zero lag. That I've seen. I've had problems with the PSP in that respect and now that collects dust.
