Nintendo Gaming / RE: Nintendo Wii Battery Report
« on: November 26, 2006, 10:30:03 AM »
Yep, I was wondering when other ppl would come to this conclusion. I got a pack of 40 AAs for about $8 (yet another slickdeal), and I'm trying to get a hold of NiMH AA chargers and batteries, but I don't know where to get those from.

Standby mode I think I'll shut off for now. When I woke up this morning, the Wii was EXTREMELY HOT after leaving it horizontally on the floor (only way to reach the outlet, no extension cords). Has anyone else had heat problems?

Also, before the software update, the Wii can't save games to SD Cards; there is no plasma burn-in reduction feature either, among other things.

Here's a big one that I don't think is up here: if you get error codes when trying to connect to the Internet:

a) Try entering your SSID manually; this at least got my router recognized.
b)Change the channel your Wifi router broadcasts on to either 1 or 11.

I had to do both of these, system updating as we speak.

Care to explain the difference in detail?

Nintendo Gaming / RE: 3rd party Wii Component Cables at Best Buy
« on: November 21, 2006, 01:32:09 PM »
No, I haven't, but frankly, why would anybody buy Monster, unless you want to pay $$$ for a product that isn't demonstrably better in the real world...

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Need an SD Card for your Wii? Incredible deal...
« on: November 21, 2006, 12:49:49 PM »
But even before the rebate, the slickdeals one is a better deal because of google check out. Doubling memory for $6 is worth it, and after rebate the difference become negligible.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: 3rd party USB ethernet adapters
« on: November 21, 2006, 12:48:23 PM »
ya, obviously, generic adapters would need wii-specific drivers. That's why we need ppl to start hacking the OS already; as we all know that Nintendo won't exactly be forthcoming in opening up the Wii OS

Quick link  to cheap Best Buy component cable ($24.99). Not available yet...but figure it's worth the heads up

Ha, I was about to post this, beat me to the punch. Obviously took advantage of it, it's a steal. slickdeals.net kicks arse.

Worth noting: a couple months ago, I got a new 80gb harddrive for the same price. Flash still has a ways to go yet...

According to Nintendo's online store, the Wii LAN adapter will cost $24.99 (a total ripoff for what it is) and won't ship till January 2007. I'd post a link, but the URL isn't permanent...if you go to http://store.nintendo.com/ to the Wii section, you'll see it.

BRAIN DUMP

Hahaha...the TRU @ times square had so much stuff...they were handing out copies of Zelda like candy; all the stuff was in huge bins...almost bought red steel, didn't...still in need of a real multi-player game (besides Wii Sports). No pictures until the Lumenlab Evo comes (another ten days)

Took subway at 6. Played Zelda tracks from OCRemix on the way. Zelda music comes on exactly when I get off; taking this as a sign, did mad dash. Fun.

Segways were insane. I didn't get to see Reggie, as I was on line. Total about 8 hrs wait. (6 to around 2, when I finally got to buy.) Met cool dude on line, glad. There were girls there! Not that many were waiting in front of Circuit City for PS3 two nights ago (saw the line on the way to Casino Royale). More glad. Brought laptop w/Celebrity Jeopardy on it, and my DS, and (sadly) my Econ textbook. No free Wifi (why I wasn't posting from the event). Gripe: cashier gave me stupid ToysRUs bag, not cool cardboard Nintendo bag like most ppl. Ah well. Still got free shwag (Iron-on thingamajig, baseball hat, winter hat, some ppl got tshirts too)

At the end, actually caught a cab in NYC. Yay! Home by two. Ppl evidently OD'd in dorm; ambulance, public safety outside. Downer for 1/2hr, big downer. Eventually snapped out of it. Got to room, slowly opened package, packed up GC. Unpacked Wii. Double Yay! (Time: about 3:20, somehow took an hour to unpack GC (was setting up air mattress and cleaning up room at the same time)

Wii Sports Tennis was cool (had a friend, fun). Baseball was annoying, could not get into it. Zelda - only got to ride Epona (whom I've named Crystal) for a while, though that was fun. Doors in village seemed to be locked. At this pt, it was 4:45, and we both have long Sundays, so we fell asleep.

Wii remote controls - finicky at first, got used to them. May be that it was stacked on top of my DVD player. Moved it down a bit, will try out ltr today (work to do). Altogether - the whole damn thing is pretty anti-climactic., not like Cube launch for me at all. At the very least,  I read NOTHING about TP, so everything is new to me. My theory: I need Brawl. NOW

I'm gonna pick up a real multiplayer game once I actually try it out, to tide me over till ssb:b

According to Firefox 2 spellchecker, 'multiplayer' isn't a word (nor is 'spellchecker', for that matter).

good bye my friends

This just in: Wii Sports comes in crappy cardboard sleeve, not full-blown box. Not that I care that much...

I might go to the Toysrus in Times Square, to see Reggie and all...seems like they're the only ones doing midnight launch...

I somehow doubt I'll get one, even though they're gonna have 84 units...

In fact, it's possible that once the PS3 is fully operational, people may want to buy it even if they never plan to play a single game.


So it's NOT fully operational and we're paying $600 for something that won't even play games? hahahaha


OMG THE PS3 IS A $600 DEATH STAR.

but remember -

"Don't be to proud of this technological terror you've constructed."

That would be okay. The perfect film version of the Hobbit has already been made.


ahhhhhhhhh.................

ok you're right, let's let them go under...

I imagine they'll market this the same way they marketed the GBASP with new backlight, aka they won't.
