That’s Me!
why bother ?
with the 512 mb ram limitation of this laughably underpowered pos you’ll be filling the damn thing up every other album
get a 360 or ps3 , the wii is fookin lame
i know , i’ve got one 🙁
It’s baffling me to why options like this are not Apple tv. For example, why can’t we access itunes store from apple tv?
Funny enough it seems that millions of others simply don’t agree with you
@ flappo
You fall into the same ol mistake many make. You spout off specs but don’t discuss what really matters… GAMEPLAY.
The Wii changes the old button mashing of last generations… and brings you more immersion.
Actually I was considering getting an Apple TV, but for $19 (plus a Wii which we already have), I will probably give this a try first. If it works decently, then SCORE!
Wow – that’s pretty cool! I’m going to try this. If and when I bump into the limitations, I’ll spring for AppleTV or better yet a Mac Mini.
Agree the Wii has excellent gameplay which to me is much more perferrable than the better graphics of the other systems. Do yourself a favor and get a Wii (if you can find one)!
Peace.
After playing Wii, I can’t look at conventional gameplay the same way again.
I see someone sitting still and pressing buttons and can’t help but to think, you call that fun?
You can’t compare that experience to acting the physical role in an intense sword battle or aiming and firing a hand held plasma cannon in Metroid. The gameplay on Wii creates a levels of fun and enjoyment orders of magnitude greater then any button-pressing game.
Apple needs to get with nintendo on this, the nintendo wii is already in so many households. Think about it: Apple’s WiiTV, the remote would work so well to browse coverflow, and the current interface. *sigh* Why wont they listen to me?
Yet another example of another device completely outclassing the AppleTV (I would include any decent DVR as the other).
Why doesn’t Jobs get a clue and do something about this? How slow do AppleTV’s sales have to be? How many more superior product roll outs from EyeTV, Nintendo, & others does it take before the embarrassment becomes intolerable?
Instead of wasting the companies goodwill by emasculating iMovie and bricking unlocked iPhones (which anyone is completely within their legal rights to do), put some damn effort into making AppleTV the device it always should have been!
It’s time for Apple and Nintendo to merge. They seem like a perfect fit.
I have a Wii, but I don’t think I’m interested. What’s the point of “converting” music and movies for the Wii? Fsck that. I’ve got an iPod — I can just plug it into my stereo and/or TV.
For all you “gamers” out there that say wii is so great and gives better game play on a cheaper made console, listen to me.
I have a Apple Tv for movie and tv downloads because it works so well with iTunes. I have a Apple iMac at home and at work for actual computer work and I have a Xbox 360 because it has the best “performance” and look and feel in the games “I” play.
Now before you start bashing me I said the games I play. I like games that look real. I hate games that are cheesy looking and have no realistic feel to them. When I buy a console I want it to act and give me the biggest bank for the buck.
I have a friend that has a wii and a 360, guess which he uses more. The 360. Yes his kids use the wii but they are 5 and 7. Just look at what Halo 3 did this week. Biggest launch day in history of gaming. Also Xbox live had over 500,000 people playing matchmaking the first night Halo 3 was out.
I love my 360 and that is what I like. If you like your Wii then that is good too, just do not flame anyone for liking anything other than the wii. People like what they like and for reasons you may not agree with.
Actually, Douche bag, the Wii “fookin” rocks. Like everything else in life, it’s not all about looks. Gameplay is proving to be king of the hill in this generation of console wars.
Oh, and by the way, the 512 RAM limitation is easily overcome by something called an “SD card.” Google it.
Wii transfer gives you the option to save media to any available memory. Google it.
Ignant frigtard.
Do we have to pay for the Opera Browser that is the Internet Channel?
I remember DL’ing the beta months ago but removed it because there was no use for it.
@Kevin F
The beta browser was available for a while, and then the full version came out, it disabled the old one. The full version was available for free for about a month or two, but if now you have to pay for it (500 Wii Points). Kind of lame, but it’s worth it for 5 bucks, especially with all the wii game websites coming out.
RE Wii? This sales chart says it all…

Wish Apple would get together with Nintendo on the gaming front, my enemy’s enemy is my friend.
another prog to pirate
flappo pushing many buttons to get what u want is old school.
The Wii is terrible at the moment.I got it the day it came out.As soon as i finished Zelda, stopped laughing at red steel and wii sports got old I turned on my 360 to play Gears of War.Now thats what I want out a console.A game that has actually been developed with care and consideration for the gamer.Wii has two of these games.To come on here and claim pressing buttons is old skool is ridiculous.Try playin Call of Duty 3 on Wii and then on 360.Its a totally different experience and is far far better on the 360.The reason for this has nothing to do with the control schemes, but its to do with all of the things that “gameplay” consists of such as better AI, more immersive enviroments, a control system thats not flimsy and irritating.These are only a few things which the 360 is infinatly superior at doing(also PS3 and PC) What has the Wii got to offer to the gamer that these other consoles havn’t? Apart from the obvious, I cant realy think of anything other then Nintendo first party titles(Which are also starting to go slightly down hill).If you call yourself a gamer but dont play on a 360 or a PC I wouldnt realy give the title of gamer to you.
My opinion:
360 = Proven
Wii = Potential
PS3 = Potential
Rant over.Pleas to all the Nintendo fanboys reading this; Pull your heads out of the abyss and come see me on xbox live for a real modern gaming experience
Great. Those are all things that I love
