Posted December 10, 2006 Jesus.....I've been playing my Wii the best part of the last 2 days (with it on Wii Connect 24 mode when I haven't), and it's quite cool, I can feel slight heat coming of it, but it is very slight. It's quiet, too (well, I can't hear it over my laptop's fan, anyway). How did they get everything, shove it in that tiny box, and keep it both cool and quiet. Only possible thing is Nintendo enslave magic pixies... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could understand if it was a super enhanced cable which made all games run at 1080P by some form of magic... but £78 for a component cable? Some people!

Posted December 10, 2006 I found my SD card last night, from my camera. Only a 512 but it's plenty for now. I was just doodling over a load of imags I'd put on it, and listened to Cars, by Gary Numan, in the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 10, 2006 Trim you nails geeks. Why? Because the premium price you pay for a Wiimote didn't ensure that Nintendo went to every effort to make sure it lasts. They've used laminated buttons with silk screened lettering, if you use Wii a lot the laminate will rub off, then the lettering will flake off the buttons. Which buttons are effected? Thankfully only the lower lesser used Wiimote buttons, 1, 2, +, - and home. The d-pad seems to have some kind of matte finish on it. It's not a big deal for most people but I like my products to last a while.. my iBook keyboard is half missing now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 10, 2006 Not really, if you search you can find a graph proving that prices of flash memory have steadily decreased over the past 10 years. So holding out, is far from missing out. Read write speeds are irrelevant as the bus and the connection cannot supply data that fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 10, 2006 Hi all, Just wondering if anyone's seen this, for sale on Amazon (among other sites). I can't post links yet, but just search for "Joytech power station" on Amazon and it'll come up. It's a rechargeable batterry pack/charger for the Wii-mote - does anyone have any experience of using this? If so, what do you think of it? How long does it last between charges, and will it take regular recharges without losing battery life? Thanks for any advice, as I'm very tempted to get one of these!

Posted December 15, 2006 I read somewhere (IGN I think) that when you do the Wii updates you get a new boot-up screen. I don't have this. My Wii just goes straight to the cack Health and Safety message. I presume this is the same for everyone... what happened to the boot up screen? Was it part of the bricked Wii problem and therefore was it removed again? Just curious if anyone knows.... quite strange that Wii doesn't have a nice little boot up sequence....

Posted December 16, 2006 Sometimes there's a bit of slowdown, it's normal. I was playing it just before and its fine, im glad its normal and not reccurant or just on my console I love how you can eject discss while the console is off. Then when you insert one, the Wii turns on. Awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
