Gimme a usb flash drive and ill tell you :P


I use the wiiconnect 24...we left it on for a couple of days..the only problem for us was that our pc was too far from the wii and the signal strength wasnt all that great so untill we move em closer, wiiconnect24 doesnt get a strong enough signal to stay connected forever, it disconnects then reconnects alot.

But if you try to use the internet , download updates etc everything works.

Wouldnt that make sense? I mean, when on standby, maybe it only checks for updates periodically, not all the time kinda thing. Or is it that you get a 'disconnected'/connnection lost prompt?

WOW that sucks but you know that companies will try to cash in on the wii as fast as possible. I personally am not a wii person but the system has massive potential not graphically but inovatively with the Wiimote but that will flood the market with sub par crap to make money.

Report says Wii costs just $158 to manufacture
 by Cyril Kowaliski - 03:49 pm, December 15, 2006

Whereas market research firm iSuppli calculated last month that the PlayStation 3 costs as much as $840 to produce, the picture may be quite a bit different on the Nintendo side of things. According to a report by Japan's Toyo Keizai Online, the Wii's production costs add up to a scant $158.30. The report compares that figure to the production cost for the 20GB PlayStation 3, which it says is $805.85—the same value quoted by iSuppli last month. The Toyo Keizai Online report goes on to say that the Wii's wholesale price is $195.99, compared to $399.20 for the PlayStation 3.

If those figures are correct, it's no wonder rumors are circulating that Nintendo plans to slash Wii prices in the near future. A Toys"R"Us manager told DPad yesterday that Nintendo will "re-launch" the Wii some time before or early after next spring. The console will reportedly become available in multiple colors, and its price will be cut to $200. Thanks to Engadget and Gizmodo for the links.

  I knew it, So nintendo is making a 50 dollar profit on every Wii while Sony is making several hundred dollars loss, shoulda make someone invest in nintendo stock when it was cheap. Price cut to 200 next year : ) ,  i want to play with someone Wii.

Don't you see, it was all SEGA's plan from the very beginning, let them kill themselves out, then crush them in one final sweep...dreamcast = skynet

The wrist strap.
What can you do to end the hunger?
It's no surprise that many will die with the coming shortage of food
When there is no grain to feed the butchered cows
When there is nothing to feed yourselves...
Then you will see that money can't be eaten.

Wii
As previously reported by the INQ, Nintendo has offered to replace more than 3.2 million Wii remote straps after users have reported that the connecting cords broke too easily. You can check out the newer version at Nintendo's site, which allows a comparison between the newer straps and the thinner, older offerings. Users need to call customers services on 0870 60 60 247 or send an email to Nintendo, the strap can then be sent back, after which Nintendo will send a replacement.

Nintendo and Chart Track have confirmed that the Wii has become the fastest-selling videogames console ever within the UK, with 105,000 systems already sold. Similar record-breaking success was reported in our PAL-utilising cousins in Australia, where 32,901 Wii units were sold in the four days following the console's launch.

However, it seems Nintendo have also fallen foul to smaller than predicted launch day shipments, although not quite on the scale of Sony.

Gamasutra reports that although Nintendo has not stated a change in shipment plans, the company did retract a small part of an earlier press release which indicated that 600,000 Wii consoles had been sold in the Americas in just eight days. The main shipment figures aren't in dispute, but a sentence at the end of the press release stating "Despite spot shortages in some locations, well more than a million Wii systems will be available in the United States by the end of the year", was later retracted.

The conclusion formed by Gamasutra is that Nintendo is no longer confident of being able to ship the original figures promised this year, and this is supported by the European launch of the console last week which saw less stock then expected being delivered - apparently many pre-orders weren't fulfilled due to Nintendo not shipping the previously promised quantities.

A lovely little hack has come courtesy of someone on the Nintendo forums. The Wii currently only offers net access via the in-built Wifi adapter, and Nintendo won't be offering an ethernet based accessory until next year at the earliest - fortunately it seems a USB 2.0 to ethernet adapter seems to work with the Wii, and can be seen working in this video, from this thread.

The adapter is a "KINAMAX USB 2.0 to RJ45 Fast Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Network Adapter". We can't confirm it definitely works, but it certainly seems to. It's likely the Nintendo branded accessory shares a similar chipset to the adapter used in the video, and the drivers are already on the Wii, thus allowing the adapter to work.

According to a report in US magazine Game Informer, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for Nintendo DS will be released on 15th October 2007 in the US. The magazine also reports a follow-up to Twilight Princess for the Wii has been in development for over a year. Good news.
