[QUOTE="karriston"]I'm still confused: You're getting things for free, and there are people complaining? What's wrong with that? You don't have to use avatars, so don't. You get the option of faster games, a streamlined party system and free avatars? Someone, anyone, tell me what is wrong with gaining something and losing nothing, and for free I might add?Lanezy

Lol, but it's not free. We're paying $50+ a year for this service.

You mentioned faster games. I'm assuming this is in relation to the hard drive installs, which will take up a lot of memory on our limited 20gb hard drives. And boy, I can't wait to move to Call of Duty 4 to Halo 3 with a bunch of friends. Oh wait, that's rarely a thing I would even do. But after a good gaming session I like to wind down and watch some Clockwork Orange with friends on Netflix. Well too bad! You all need a Netflix account to do this and I'm Canadian so we already get screwed. Avatars you say? Don't use them? Has there even been any confirmation that we can turn these things off? If so, then I apologize in advance.

What I personally gain from this update? Avatars I don't even like and features I will rarely use.

What do I lose from this update? The aesthetic appeal of the old dashboard and a soon to be obsolete hard drive.

This years has to have been the best E3 of all time for Nintendo.

I mean, Wii Sports Resort? This is awesome. A follow-up to the free game that comes packaged with the Wii itself, only now you get to pay for it...sweet!

And then there's Wii Music. I'd love to learn more about Wii Music, but for some strange reason I keep dozing off every time I think about it...

Then there's Wii Motion Plus. What the Wii remote was suposed to be initially, but wasn't. Now I can pay more money for a slightly more sensitive remote. Awesome!

Good stuff Nintendo. Best E3 ever.
