Hmmm, not sure. But I do know that it is internet ready, all you need is a wireless option. We can get the news and local weather on the main Wii page. Plus we were able to put our Christmas pictures in it (via SD card) and it played as a slide show with music and everything....very cool!


Neat toy for the price!

Hi, I asked my 15 yr old who own the wii, x-box & ps3. No Nintendo plays DVD's. The Ps3 plays blueray, and the X-box and Play stn 2 play Dvd's. Hope this helps.

Mike was just asking about the SD card last night and being able to view pics.

The wireless option--does that mean if you have wireless in your house, you can use it? Because we do have wireless in our house.

(Obviously, we haven't played around with the Wii too much yet...lol).

Yes-- if you have wireless in your house, you can set it up to access the internet. DS's big thing right now is playing Guitar Hero III against people all across the country. :)

Nik got a WII from one of the older boys. Dh is now in the process of putting it together. Will let you know how it turns out & what he finds out in the process.


We also received a picture frame that holds about 300 pics but we don't have a digital camera. We were told we might be able to get pics off the puter for it. So if you or anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate it.


We're not real good w/all this elctronic stuff. I sure wish we were still near the older boys for these things.


BTW, Nik also received a Serius radio from another brother. These boys are killing me.

Hey Dee,

Hope y'all had a great Christmas! LOL about the boys...they're spoiling her and driving you crazy...sounds like great big brothers!

If you buy an SD memory card (can find these relatively cheap at Wal-mart or Best Buy), you can download the pictures from your computer to the card, then put it in the frame (which I'm assuming uses the SD memory card). The Wii also uses SD memory cards, so you can put your card full of pictures and "play" it on the TV. Of course, you can do this with most DVD players, too, just burn the pics on CD.

Hi Alysha, the WII works, the Serius works & Nik is having a ball. Dh has to figure out how to block certain channels on the Serius. Also dh told me today we're going to buy a digital camera.


Did Allie enjoy xmas ?
