I wanna add 2 cents more to this thread.
1. Weather channel is cool. If you plan on traveling to a major city somewhere in the world in the next week. Otherwise, it's just... 'neat' Use it once in a blue moon for 1 minute.
2. News channel. It's SD. I hate reading letters 2 inches tall, and if it's smaller, you cant read it. Not really enough news, and it's kinda, censored for the kiddies.
3. Youtube Videos. Yeah, this is cool.
Now I want to add what my phone does.
1. Weather - I push about 3 buttons, it shows me a radar map of where I am (whereever that is) the current temp, and a 7 day forcast for the city nearest me.
2. I push 2 buttons, and I'm looking at tons of news.
3. I push about 10 buttons, and I watch those too.
My phone does what a Wii can, but better...
Sanyo M1 > Wii
haha. Overall the online on the Wii for me, is just... something I would have expected to see 10 years ago. (litterally 10 years, not 9 not 11) If it's for the children, chances are they've been using IE, or Firefox already, and they know their way around the web slightly, and are used to windows/OSX. If it's aimed at adults... chances are, they will continue to read the paper, watch the TV, or for the educated ones, use the internet, or like me, use their phone.
Basically I feel their a waste of space on the Wii.
Whoever said why download videos?
It's nice to push 8 buttons and watch Sony's E3 footage. the PS3 does it. I'm sure the x-box has something similar planned for E3.
It's nice to watch that on your TV, and not your monitor.
I cant wait to play the Killzone Video on my PS3, with my sound system cranked up... buhaha...
