Why the hell would anybody use the Wii to surf the net? That's crazy. KEYBOARDS are your friend! I can't believe they are going to charge for this lame ass service.

OMG $5 dollars! Those bastards! (-:

Watching You Tube videos is a pretty good time, and is one obvious use.

Why not? What's the big deal? It's nice to be able to do it from the living room couch where my family is on a 42" plasma instead of going off to the secluded office and hunching over a little screen. Do you even need to ask???? Seriously. And tell me again how you know it's a "lame-ass" service when you obviously havn't used it? It works well. It's almost as fast as my normal computer (which is more than adequate), and if I want to show someone something on the internet I can do it in the living room. Isn't it embarassing for you Shawn when you have someone at your house and you want to show them something on YouTube, but you have to take them into your little dungeon/bedroom and push all your skid-marked underwear and sticky porn mags aside to make room for them? I mean, as bitter and pessimistic as you always are, I don't expect you get out much, so your room must be in the basement, which means ventilation is poor, and there's not much reason to shower since the chicks on match.com won't know the difference. I guess you wouldn't understand.

Paul I have a house in Newton, Mass. Why don't you look it up. It's one of the richest areas in the country. You have proved yourself to be an absolute jackass. Merry Christmas.

Wow. That was really harsh. Anyway, the internet browser will still be free in January right? I'm going to be online then, and while I think it would be nice to have internet on the tv, I probably don't care enough to pay for it. I think it's nice that Nintendo is offering this for free at all.

I guess blurbs like this from Shawn just irritate me to no end. My post was a joke. A long joke, but a joke.

Happy to be enlisted in a club that you worked your way into on these forums long ago. My post was a joke, albeit an ill-tempered one. Sorry about that.
