You can use a USB to ethernet connection Griffin... I think you have to buy it online (not sold in shops for some reason) but it is possible.

However there would be no way for me (and a lot of people) to connect via wire because it would have to go from one corner of my room across to my door, along the hall and into my parents room then to the other side of that to get to the modem.

It is sold at stores. And most people don't have an either net cord in there living room so Wirless works great for most people. Also there is like a billion ways to set up your wireless.

 But Nintendo should of included an ethernet port, now people need to spend an additonal $30 to buy some adapter.  And i have tried to get my wireless to work on my consoles, i have follwed all the guides about entering the wep codes or the SSiD and the wifi still won't connect.

If you really do have troble connecting, then what brand your wireless router is, and what consoles have you tried to connect? Is networks password correct? Does your router have "turbo mode" or something similar? On a side note, if you have AOSS compatible (Buffalo) router and DS or Wii with firmware 3.x, you need to press one button on router and click one button on Wii/DS network settings, and your console is online. A lot easier than playing with ethernet cables. Actually putting the console online with Wi-Fi is easier than doing the same with ethernet...
