Internet Channel

So I didn't know where to stick this one... but it said Wii Software! :P

Anyone else think this is nothing more than a piece of popsnizzle? I really don't ever see myself using that thing again. Downloaded it once, tried it, and removed it immediately. Who in their right mind wants to browse the net on their TV, anyways? (too bad there is no bleeding-eyes smiley) I'll be using my computer for that purpose instead of a console browser, any day of the week.

Side-note: I wish there was a way for me to remove the Weather and News Channel, since they're completely wasted on me.

I totally disagree. I have it on in the background playing online flash streams of TV shows all the time.

And the News Channel has some of the best and most comprehensive news articles anywhere, the vast majority of websites included. As a total news addict, I would know.

It's a nice freebie. Quite handy I imagine in a house with only one computer that has internet access. The Wii pointer works well with a few flash games too

Actually, as a reminder to anyone who hasn't downloaded it, it shall be 500 points from this Saturday onwards, so download it soon!

Well, if it was situated in a different room it might come in handier, but since both my lappy - which tends to idle in sleep mode most of the time anyways - and the console are in the same room it shouldn't be difficult to see that's it a bit pointless to a person such as myself.

I don't really like it, and probably won't use it much. Once my Wii's memory becomes full, that'll be the first thing I'm deleting as it uses up a hefty 250 odd blocks.

I'm using it everyday, probably 90% of my posts on this forum is written from my Wii. Will buy it when it cost money.

No no, it won't cost money if you've already downloaded it! =] It's only those who haven't downloaded it who will have to pay the initial 500 points price.

Why should it be that? It clearly says that it will cost 500 points from the 31st June and forward. Haven't heard a word that it would be free just if you downloaded the trial version.

According to IGN if you've already downloaded it you won't have to pay for it when re-downloading.

Yeah, I heared it somewhere else too..

If it did turn out we had to pay though, which we definitely won't, I wouldn't waste 500 points redownloading it.
