I forgot who asked here how this will work with different TV services such as time warner, dish, and the like. I think that will be an issue as a deal will have to be cut between all of them and TV providers always seem to like to be in control and a b*tch to work with (there are always disputes going on between them and individual channels such as the one going on right now between dish and AMC). I think the only way around it at the moment is if you have a Tivo box. Tivo seems to be supported based on the demonstration today. Since Tivo works with almost all TV providers, I assume that would be your gateway to linking it all up on the WiiU. For those that don't have a Tivo unit though, then this will be a problem as I'm sure many don't want to fork over money for a new dvr unit. Hopefully something is worked out so that everyone can get in on the fun without depending on Tivo to be the middle man.
I'm also wondering how exactly did they have all those college games on Nintendo TVii. If a deal was cut for those, I sure hope one is set up for all the other leagues, specifically the NBA and NFL for me. I'll even pay a subscription if they can provide me with service like that.
Anyway, on to the WiiU in general. I managed to spread the word today in my Networking class and showed a couple of videos off to 2 friends of mine and they were really interested. They at first didn't even know it was a new system and assumed it was just an addon to the Wii which could be a problem at first for Nintendo.
Also, I finally got my preorder down over at Gamestop and they currently are running some trade in offers which I might partake in. If I remember correctly, I think you can get 50 dollars for a used Wii, 90 I think for a used 360, and 120 for a used PS3 slim. Don't remember what a phat PS3 will net but its either 50 or 90 give or take. I'm thinking of trading in my Wii and 360 as I have not used either in quite a while and I figure my PS3 (Madden 13) and PC (guild wars 2 popped my MMO cherry lol) will hold me up easily until the release date.
