RupeeClock @ Nov 11th 2006 12:39PM
I spii with my little ii, a little mail iicon in the corner, and it looks like you've got one message. :O
Matt T. @ Nov 11th 2006 12:45PM
When you finish the message, Does it sound like the the transmitter in MGS is ringing?
David Hinkle @ Nov 11th 2006 1:25PM
Sorry Matt, no MGS sound in-game. That was actually Chris Grant's cell phone ringtone. :)
Thanks for reading!

Oh man! I totally have the same cell phone ring. I thought I was so original. I guess it's okay as long as we're in different states.
I can't wait to post comments here via my Wii in 7 days and 20 hours!

SOMEbody needs to invest in a tripod! ;)

Any word on USB keyboards working with Wii? If I could use a keyboard I'd probably use my computer only for school work etc and do all my surfing on the Wii but the Wiimote input would be a little too slow for posting long messages on forums.

Only 5 hours with Zelda?
David Hinkle @ Nov 11th 2006 4:00PM
At the time of recording the video, yes, 5 hours was all we logged in.
Thanks for reading!

I'm a little dissapointed there's no japanese support, but it's still nifty :)
Leper Messiah @ Nov 11th 2006 7:52PM
So it does work with a computer moniter.
Score for just getting a flat, 19-inch, digital ultrasharp dell moniter about a week ago.
And its amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing.
Will @ Nov 11th 2006 9:19PM
I may be dumb, but why does Joystiq get the Wii early? IS it because it's for the press type thing? Journalism? Yeahhhh...
danjo1 @ Nov 11th 2006 9:16PM
did you guys try plugging a usb keyboard and/or mouse into the usb ports?? If so, can you use them to type messages?
Bruce @ Nov 11th 2006 11:30PM
danjo1 asks a good question - can you please let us know if you can use USB or bluetooth keyboards? The wiimote looks great for games, but I can't imagine 'typing' that way.
Half-Reasonable Person @ Nov 12th 2006 1:48AM
How did you get it to display on a Dell monitor? Please expain!
Big Earl @ Nov 12th 2006 2:09AM
I hope we can eventually use the DS for keyboard input.
At the very, very least. :(
