Thread: Wii bit of a question.

I caught a lot of crap on another board when I mentioned this about one son's PSP, but we have a Wii for my youngest son's birthday which is coming up in a week, and I am back to the same question. What kind of controls does it have for internet usage?

I think the Xbox, 360, and Nintendo DS have it set up properly, where you use the net to connect to other gamers in the context of a game, but aren't out roaming the net with a browser. Anyone with a Wii that can tell me what the options are since I am thinking hard about whether or not to let him use the wireless bridge he has for the Xbox on his Wii.

Is this going to be an all or nothing struggle. And like the PSP, will I have to worry about a simple update wiping out my parental blocks? Any clues Wii owners?

i think once the parental locks are in place then you need to deactivate it with your passcode to wipe off anything you have locked out. If the Wii needs to be updated then I dont think it would wipe off the parental locks. No solid evidence on this but I know it's how it works for the 360.
