insidious said: they also do update for our benefit too.. watch how many people cry if nintendo stopped updating it rendering the console obsolete in the next 2 months.

desi said:That's funny. I don't remember the NES, SNES, Dreamcast, Playstation, N64, GBA, or DS getting updated, unless you bought an entirely new unit.

Obsolescence is caused by advances in technology, not in firmware.

insidious said: wii is different to those other consoles.. this as you know requires updates.. those didnt.

desi does make a good point

wait so you think nintendo should let people hack one of their products so they can get free games? i dont think that would hold up in court

there was supposed to be an IT in there... refer to my previous post i edited it

insidious says:
fair enough.. but as ive stated before they are out there to make money. they want us going out and buying games and accessories for their machine.. your right we own the machine once weve bought it and we should be able to use it any way we want.. but i still believe that they are entitled to protect their products, the updates SHOULDNT be forced onto you, but i see no harm in having to update to play the latest.

and jofra you made a good point and i see no reason to argue that.

desi said: No, you're looking at it the wrong way. It's about ownership. You bought a Wii, and once you own it, the only further contact you will have with Nintendo is if you send it back for repairs. Is it now within Nintendo's rights to make you use your property in a certain way, as if the old owner of your new house called you and said, "No, put the barbecue on the other side of the yard, just because."?

slicingman said: Insidious has a point, and he has worded it in different ways so different people can understand.
leave him alone you bunch of retards! or I'll hack you. (eventually)

insidious said: obviously everything interrelates to everything. dont have to be a tool about it jsut cause ive worded it differently. and i havnt changed my opinion. ive stated different parts of an overall opinion, nintendo have every right to block any UN-officially branded stuff and release updates they shouldnt be forced yet they shouldnt just STOP posting updates.. if you dont want to update dont get the new games. simple as that.. i update cause the games require me to otherwise i probably wouldnt.. everything ive said relates...
