Nintendo Wii

[michelle]

Anybody have one? I got one a couple weeks ago after trying out my boyfriend's brother's. It's pretty cool! I am not a video game person at all, but this one I actually like.

So anyways, I just hooked it up to the internet (because I found out you could do that) and I have a code now that I guess you give to other people. Again, I have no idea how this technology works, but if anybody wants that friend code thing, let me know and I will send it to you. Maybe you can tell me what's it for then because I have no clue. (:

I hate Wii's for the small fact that I cannot find one, lol.

woooot nevermind. My Wii tracker just helped me out. Right after I posted, I checked it and nothing and then I checked it again and the Sears website was in stock so I ordered it.

So what's the 16 digit code for?

[Korndogg]

its so you can connect with your other friends I believe.

Here, straight from Wikipedia:

Friend codes

"Friend codes" are generated from an identifier unique to a copy of a game and the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID of a DS system. Using a different copy of a game, or loading the same copy in a different system, generates a different Friend code.[2] In order for users to become "Friends", they must mutually add Friend codes, and will be authenticated as Friends once both have gone online. These measures (mutual Friend code exchange, per-game Friend codes, and the pairing of the Friend code and system) are conscious steps to preserve users' privacy. If a DS game is sold, but not the system, there is no risk of the purchaser impersonating the seller. Similarly, one cannot add a user to their "Friends list" for the sole purpose of antagonizing the user online.

Features enabled by becoming "Friends" can range from simply seeking each other out for online play (Mario Kart DS, Tetris DS), to voice and text chat (Metroid Prime Hunters). Unusually, most of the online features in Animal Crossing: Wild World are disabled unless users are Friends, with some exceptions, primarily due to the potential for vandalism of another user's personalized "Town" in the game.

Friend codes are twelve digits long. Codes for certain games, such as Mario Kart DS and Tetris DS, are six digits followed by another row of six digits, while other games like Animal Crossing' use codes with three groups of four digits separated by hyphens. If a user needs to replace his or her DS system, then the old system's Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection ID can be transferred wirelessly, to maintain the user's original Friend codes on the new machine.

A Wal-mart Supercenter by my house had 8 in stock when I randomly looked a couple weeks ago. That's why I thought I should pick one up. (:

I'm with the OP. I've never been a huge video game person either, but I played some bowling last night for the first time and thought it was pretty slick. Of course, now I want one too. :D
