I just got done using it and it works a LOT better now. YouTube videos seem to work perfect now and you can now finally full screen the videos and other sites like Digg and GameSpot that didn't previously work now do (at least they didn't work for me before). Also the problem where the browser had a black border on the top on widescreen tv's appears to have been fixed. There are also a lot of other noticable changes. It's free, it rocks and I can easily say that it's much better then Sony's PS3 browser. So quit reading this message and go download the new version of Opera (for free of until June) already.


After a system update, go to the Shop Channel and re-download the Internet Channel (the "download" button has been replaced with an "update" button).

Rockin'

I'm very envious of the yanks who are all playing Super Paper Mario (and saying it's among the best games they've played) at the moment...*sigh*

Metal Slug collection comes out later this month :)

Damm this is great, it runs so much faster than the beta. I'm really impressed with the final result.

Was the B-button scroll thing in the last version or new? Kinda cool anyway.

Also zooming is much improved with the new auto setting. Seems to zoom into text columns well.

True that, Looking back through my Wii calender, I haven't played my Wii games since febuary.
6 months after release and we only have 1 major game, the launch title.
What happened to Metroid? it was supposed to be released during summer break, and now it has been pushed back until early 2008. Same with SuperSmashBros Brawl. SSBB was set for an april release, but the outlook is for a late 2007 release.

The only game I've played on my Wii for months is a Gamecube game (RE4). Thats a little bit sad :(

Though I think I might grab Sonic and the Secret Rings, that looks cool, and from the reviews it sounds like its the first sonic game in a while that doesn't eat balls.

I think the reason we're not seeing games being released is because hardware sales are so damn high, there's no need for a big software title to boost sales. The demand in North America, Japan, and Europe hasn't dropped off since launch.

Super Paper Mario NTSC runs on PAL as long as you have done the latest nintendo upgrade before running the disk. Currently getting 90% @ Gamerankings, gamespot gave it 8.8

If you aren't up for importing i've heard good things about Heatseeker, which was released this week in australia, though it is pricey.

Heatseeker is an Australian made game too, made by IR Gurus down in Melbourne. So support local developers and stuff!

natslovR, about SPM working on PAL consoles, you mean only with a mod chip right?

I'd buy it straight away from dvdcrave if it works without a modchip...
