And about time too. There is no way I'd ever cough up for a web brower.

Good things do indeed come to those who wait :)

Ah, but iPlayer's broken on this new iteration. It was the only reason why I
bothered plugging in my Wii for the first time in months.

You didn't get Wii Sports Resort yet then? It's the game we all imagined
the Wii would be like when we first bought it.

Table Tennis is. Most of the rest of it's a bit pants really.

Interesting...

Is this why this group is so dead? Everyone's lost interest in their Wiis?

I must admit I haven't used mine in almost 6 months :(

I used it for the first time yesterday to download the Internet Channel.

In article <7gnc0vF...@mid.individual.net>,

Hmm...I haven't had my Wii online in months and I fired it up a couple of
months back to finish Tales Of Symphonia, which I had started on the GC
but never finished.
I will have it on this week no doubt when the MP trilogy arrives
(hopefully tomorrow).

I played Grand Slam Tennis last night, but that's the first time I've
been on in a while. The other half still uses Wii Fit and the
occasional bit of Sports Resort.

I use mine very little these days, primarily because it's rather close
to my son's bedroom so I worry about waking him up.

Additionally, though, since installing the Homebrew Channel I find
that whenever I load the Wii up I never actually play a game. I just
go into the homebrew browser and update all my software, then browse
through for anything new that looks interesting, download that, quit
the browser, try running the new software, which often freezes my Wii,
which means I then turn it off again.

I can see why Nintendo are against this - back when my Wii was a
stripped down and simple appliance I used to spend much more money on
games, and play those.

I should knuckle down and finish Zelda: Twilight Brown-cess or maybe
even try No Nore Heroes, which is sitting unplayed on my shelf.

Currently re-watching these from scratch. On series 7 at the moment.

Can't disagree with that, as soon as you get how to play it pasting the
CPU player becomes utterly simple even on hard, although the occasional
decent net player can cause a tiny bit of trouble. Online was where it
was at for me, shame you couldn't organise and play in proper
tournaments ingame and so on.

Nope, because:

1) I'm in a shitload of pain, and somehow I think that flailing my arms
about will probably make it a hell of a lot worse,
2) I can't see it being that much of an improvement over Wii Sports, and
that one included a free console! ;)
3) It's another add-on that I'll probably lose somewhere.
4) and most importantly, I'm skint! :(. I can't justify any extravagant
purchases at the moment.

Paul.

It includes an update to flash as well apparently. Anyone know which
version of flash it uses now in comparison to the PC browser versions?
