While this probably has a lot to do with my sluggish average internet providor but that seems to be about how long it takes me to update my PS3 as well." First of all, it sounds like you have a serious problem somewhere, perhaps with your PS3. I have slow DSL and it has never taken me anywhere close to 2 hours to update. That's just crazy, there has to be something wrong somewhere. If you can't fix it, then I would definitely go with the USB update option. As for the review, nice job, it sounded fair. The Wii U requiring you to pull the plug to power down is not good at all, though it's possible it was due to the abnormally large patch and might not happen again. The 15 feet isn't so hot, either. Perhaps there will eventually be an accessory that extends the range. The TV control stuff sounds really nifty. I don't stream anything through my game consoles but it sounds great for those who do. |
It's not really streaming. You don't have to turn your WiiU on at all to use the WiiU controller as a remote for your TV. It has a TV button on it that you can press at any time wether it is on or off and then you can use it as a remote for your TV. I should have probably mentioned that. It does have streaming services on it though like Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime.
As far as the update that is due to my internet which is why I have to compare it what the speed of the update is closest to. For example if it takes you about 30 minutes to update your PS3 then likely that is about how long the WiiU will update. I use to have fast internet but my new internet providor is just average, kind of slow for high speed.
