Wii Hardware \ Should Nintendo Stop Disabling Things

So with the recent Nintendo Wii Menu Firmware Update to 3.3 many have realised that their Freeloader, Twilight Hack for Homebrew and WAD Installer Doesn't Work Anymore.

So do you believe that Nintendo should make it optional for us to receive the updates, which they do sometimes, but sometimes they have the updates on the game forcing us to update which will wreck some things for us.

However Nintendo should only give us Updates when they do something worthwhile like allow us to load stuff off SD Cards and not disable a Wii Freeloader which we all got with the Half a Year Delay of SSBB and other games that don't come out here coz we are in Australia.

Nintendo should also realise that we Brought the Wii so it is ours and not theirs to sneak updates on to it, like they are probably going to try and do on upcoming games or at least list what the update will do to give us a choice. Also sure some people use the HBC for some piracy but not everyone does as some do it just for the HomeBrewing experience like being able to play the movies on the Wii, play Homebrew games etc.

What's wrong with people still buying Wii games legally from overseas to use with the Freeloader just because Nintendo can't get their games over here in time, I have already pre-ordered Mario Super Sluggers that will get here next week from Play-Asia as I don't want to wait until some time after August for Nintendo to get it here.

So.. you're not updating now, claiming that you've beaten Nintendo yet..... are updating next week? When the same update is still going to be forced onto your system but.... with YOU accepting it?

... so basiclly, you're choosing to wait, yet, still being beaten by Nintendo, correct?

No, it's not forced at the moment, but in future, I'm assuming it will be, what with more powerful games coming out etc.

If you want SSBB, you're going to have to update.

And the list probably continues, depends what Nintendo have up their sleeves.

No but reading this I feel that it may help.
Ok, let's do it this way.
Why did masses of people turn away from the GC after a short while for the PS2?
They were very close in terms of processing power?
What gave Sony the edge in the last gen of consoles?
