The wii forces you to update. It probably updated while on standby.

Jerrod, there was a hack that let you go on the web with the wii without it being ready and you could do it for free. They fixed it quite fast, i saw that video on youtube only yesterday. I wouldnt be able to do it anyway, im with the usb wifi connector

Who really cares about going on net with a hack, the Opera browser is free and will allow a better surfing experience when it is release.

Not totally free. It will cost some wii points (don't know how many though) but I guess it's a one time. you won't pay monthly or else like xbox...

yea, I'm almost positive that its supposed to be free, but that would be just like them to then charge us for it.

you've been around these boards for a little while Vagrant. Do you know what the 209601 error is when getting on the shop channel?

It means it couldn't connect because the server was on overload. Just keep clicking "try again" and it will eventually connect. I just had that problem 10 minutes ago. The second attempt it connected.
