Neither I, nor HNS want or have the money for one, so there. Still a lot of GC games I haven't played... awesome ones at that.

Well I say it again anyone with a Wii please post your Wii number in the Wii Friend Code thread in the Chatboard so that we can all be hooked up on the Wii as well.

Figure what out? How to get your Wii number?
Title: Re:OMG, IM GETTING ONE!

Well first, do you have wireless internet at home either through a wireless router or Wi-Fi USB adapter? If no, well then don't worry about it cause you can't do it anyways until you get one (or whenever Nintendo releases a connector that allows you plug in your Internet cable into the Wii). If yes here is what you do...

1. From the Wii Main Menu, click the envelope icon on the lower right of the screen

2. You will now see three icons on the bottom, to the left a icon with a calender on it and an icon with a piece of paper and pencil, click that icon

3. You will see three icons, click the one on the left that says Address Book

4. It will immediatly open but you will see arrows on the right and left of the screen, click the left arrow (or simply press the - button on the Wiimote) and it will display your Wii's number.

Wow I thought I was the last one to have dial-up. Not trying to advertise here, you can get SBC DSL for cheap (like 15 bucks a month) which is cheaper then some dial-up companies.

That is true, but I don't think we can have dialup just yet, but I heard we were either able to have it this year, or next.

Umm... You mean HIGH SPEED, NOT dial up, right?
Title: Re:OMG, IM GETTING ONE!
Post by: JDog on January 21, 2007, 11:09:14 AM
Yes, I mean we can't highspeed internet yet.

Question, can we watch movies and listen to music on the wii?
Title: Re:OMG, IM GETTING ONE!
Post by: bgrugby on January 21, 2007, 01:55:19 PM
Not yet, but there is a sweet website in which you make a playlist of just about any song you want and it will play on the Wii Internet Browser.

No, I just don't have the money for a Wii.  I definitely want it.

Also, do you realize the irony in this, Wolf Link?  Ever since the Wii came out, you grumbled at anyone who said they had one, and yet here you are, shouting it out to the world that you're getting a Wii.
