coooool. ayus yang browser mo sir

The Wii browser is derived from Opera. Also, a usb keyboard works fine with the Wii. So, I don't have to use some funky game controller to enter text.

Among the consoles, I think the Wii has the best controller for internet use. It's about as easy to use as a stylus pointer plus it has convenient zoom in/out functions built in. That's why internet still looked good even though I'm using only analog connectors which limited res to 480p. I simply zoomed in to make text readable.

Although not all video-streaming sites work with the Wii, YouTube worked fine.

Jun,
I just bought my son Wii for Christmas. Didn't even realize na may wi-fi din like the PS3. As soon as I read your post here, I did a little search regarding Wii's web browser (Opera). Is it true that you have to pay 10 wii points (they say about $10) in order to use Opera Browser?

Nope. It's 500 points or $5. A 2000 point Nintendo card is around $20. It's also best to use the progressive scan/component rgb cable to give 720p res.

Oh. Connect a usb keyboard to enter text. Too bad a usb mouse isn't supported. But the Wii's controller is excellent as a pointing device. It's way better than gamepads.

Thanks Jun. Is this a monthly/annual subscription oh one time fee lang?
Does the wii comes with component? I have to check kasi when I set it up to my lcd tv parang composite lang yung cable that came with it. I'll check when I get back home. Di ba component will give you up to 1080p? or is it the Wii that is only capable of doing 720p?

It should be one time. Just make sure you don't format the Wii's 512mb of flash storage or else everything would be lost.

The component rgb is separate. Gamestop sells it for $34.

The Wii's max res is 720p. Considering the Wii's graphics aren't really state of the art, 720p is fine. 720p is also just the right res to make web surfing very comfy.
