Wii Media Center…Possibility

tone — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 14:28:06 +0000

With the news yesterday of a new DS Download Channel in Japan, the possibility of the Wii becoming a set-top box increases. Also, don’t forget the fact that the Wii is compatible with USB Keyboards and there is already software available to fake some media center properties in your Wii. Because of these turn of events many industry analysts feel that Nintendo is trying to follow the Xbox 360 and PS3 lead of becoming a complete entertainment box.

The real challenge will be storage for the Wii, along with the processing power to stream media and handle multiple downloads. In addition, Nintendo is claiming there is no immediate plan to bring the Download Channel to the US.

There are no plans to bring something like this to the United States at the moment, he said, but Nintendo is always looking around. “There are other channel opportunities,” he said. “They may look like games. They may not look like games.”

Don’t we just love hearing the vague game? News.com has the rest of the scoop, in a boring comparison of next gen consoles and how they will replace your DVD player, cable box, and even PC. Yeah right.

Buy Wii UK

tone — Wed, 10 Oct 2007 13:30:19 +0000

Buy-Wii.net launched more than a year ago and has since witnessed fantastic growth. In May of this year we added on the Buy Wii Shop, which was the #1 source to buy Wii, games, and accessories, because we had the systems ALWAYS in stock. Since then we’ve moved hundreds of systems and made thousands of sales. But, we were only able to cater to our US residents and our boys across the pond were left to fend for themselves. Today that changes.

Buy Wii UK launches today! This new Wii Shop will cater to residents in the UK, with special pricing, and shipping rates only for them. So if you came by before and were unable to buy a wii, try using our new UK store.
