Nintendo has released firmware update 3.1U for the Wii, adding official USB keyboard support. This should greatly increase web browsing experience with the Internet Channel. The update also adds the following:
  • USB keyboard compatibility
  • Links received on the Wii Message Board can now be opened in Internet Channel
  • Can now send web-links to friends to view
  • Can copy text from page being viewed and paste it into a search engine

Don't actually have my WiFi on anymore, so I don't use my Wii online, but I'll probably connect it up temporarily and download the update anyway. Been playing my Wii a bit more lately, decided I need to get as much use as possible out of it before the price falls so that I can feel paying full price was worth it :laugh:

j/k, my Wii is great and better value than the PS3 or 360 (although if the 360 sorts out its reliability then I would consider buying one).

Oh mussels, if you ever figure that out, let me know.

Im amazed at these mini pcs called consoles. The fact is, PS3 alone is a computer with an HD playback on an lcd or plasma tv. Hell, you can upgrade the hard disk and play games on it...too bad pc games wont work....yet ::HAHA::
