Wii Notes

Well almost everyone is going on and on about the facts about the Wii release, so let’s get somethings straight:

• Wii doesn’t have DVD playback
• The wii is region free
• Channels which include
  Disc (for playing disks and gcn games), Mii (your gamertag [sorta]), Photo (viewing/editing pictures that you imported), Forecast (weather), News, Wii shop (Like the itunes 7 store except more about games than songs), Virtual Console (The retro function), Internet, and Message Board (for chatting).
• The price is around $250 which if you bought it all individually it would be around $400 dollars
• Downloaded games cost $5 dollars (N64 is $10) and they are only the retro games
• The photo tool isn’t that good
• About 30 titles will be availible at launch
• LOZ Twilight Princess will be out that same day for it
• WiiMote comes with it
• Stand is included
• Bundled with WiiSports
• Surfing the web costs you money (have to buy the browser)
• Money is in WiiPoints 2000 for $20
• You have the power to send sms messages
