It's pretty much just that.. Right now there are 4 questions, all lame. Hopefully it'll take off, it could've been a subtle excuse to push down a mod-chip block via update or they could actually plan on doing something constructive with it. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

If all else fails, it could just be a fun time-wasting channel, an easy way to kill off 20 minutes when you're laying in bed and not tired enough to sleep.

I was hoping there'd actually be Wii-related questions, like asking us what we'd like to see in the future, etc.
Whatever, I don't care. Like I said before, I'll take anything that's free. :p

Yeah. It was said that Wiininja mod chips got fried with this update. But so far its just rumors until Nintendo announces that they did do that.

NO, you really are a wiinoob...j/k  The internet channel will be free for a certain time and then it will cost you however many points Nintendo wants to charge for it after that. But if you dl it before that time, then it will be free!

Everything I read says the official Opera browser will be 500 points, which is $5, I think.

Nintendo is currently offering a free trial of Opera for Wii which is now available for download. The release of the final version of the Opera browser for Wii is currently scheduled for late March 2007. Opera for Wii will remain a free download until June 30, 2007. After June 30, Opera will be available for download from the Wii Shop Channel for 500 Wii points. Users who download Opera before June 30, 2007, can continue to use the browser at no cost for the lifetime of the Wii system.

I think it's a pretty interesting idea and maybe there will be wii questions.

Jeez.

I like the Channel its better than the Weather Channel and its new dont worry bet in a Week or 2 we'll see it with alot more polls. Overall Im happy and surprised about the channel, did anyone hear about this before? I never even heard a word of this channel until today.
And just remember all you critics you say "its a boring channel" but you forget its FREE, meaning you really cant go wrong with the channel.

That's a good point you got there, but perhaps they'll use it as a sort of customer feedback tool?
