I still haven't tried it but my brother successfully procured it and it appears to be ready for use at my next opportunity.

EDIT: hehe, I'm typing from the browser now too :D
Santapaw's right, it is a pain to use :(

And it's a pain on the eyes too. :( The only real use I see for this is watching videos on the television instead of the computer, which is still pretty cool. But even then, there is no Windows Media, QuickTime, or RealPlayer integrated into the browser, so you're limited in that area too.

So Santabaw and Little Drummer Boy both have Wiis that are connected to the internet. Why won't you share Wii codes? My Miis are lonely.

Youtube on the TV=Win.

Yeah, watching YouTube videos on television is pretty sweet. \:D/ But I sure wish there was some way to equip the browser so that I can view other media files as well. :(

LOL right....

Or you could just, you know, use a faster, and fully-functional computer, which is probably a few feet away from your TV.

I never understood console internet browsers. Handhelds, sure, but consoles??

Because sitting on a couch and watching youtube videos on a big TV is better than sitting in a computer chair watching youtube on a smaller screen.

Well, in my case, the console is in the basement and all the computers are in bedrooms on the upper level. If I get stuck in a game, it's much easier to go to FAQs.com from the basement than go all the way upstairs. :D
