Question

Please answer

2.)Will the internet be free?

3.)what are wii points and will the games be free?

Answer 1

I know all 3!!

1) You can use an ethernet cable and plug it into your internet provider box thing! Though, prehaps even easier is to get a "Nintendo WiFi USB", and you can plug this into your computer, instantly creating yourself a hotspot within your home in which you can search the internet on your Wii and DS. You can also do online gaming on your Wii and DS!!

2) The internet on Wii will be free March 31st 2007, then you'll have to pay £20-£30 to access the "Internet channel"!! (You only have to pay once!)

3) ) £20 = 2000 points! You can use them to buy the internet channel and other channels. You can also buy Virtual Console games which will be roughly;
300-500 = Nes
500-800 = Snes
800-1000 = Nintendo 64

Hope I have helped!

Answer 2

I know 2 and 3 and I don't actually know specifically number 1 yet, I will edit it in when I know
2) The internet will be free until Summer 2007 when you'll have to pay a one off fee of around £20-£30
3) You can buy Wii points in a games shop (£20 = 2000 points) or transfer money from a credit card into Wii points. You can use them to buy the internet channel in Summer 2007, and Virtual Console games, which will cost anywhere between 300 and 1,500 points depending on the game.
This is probably right (well according to IGN it is anyway)

Answer 3

I use wifi to connect my laptop and palm pilot to the internet. You have to search for a wireless network and then connect to it. Beware, most wireless networks charge for connecting to them. You can also access other people's wireless networks by being near their house if they have a wireless router. I can connect at my mum's house through her neighbours wireless router. Most will be security protected, so you may need a password to access them. New ones are being set up all the time, so try google'ing wireless hotspots and see how many are in your area.

Answer 4

I only know 3. Actually, Wii points are to get the downloaded old games.
