Wii firmware update released
Our Wii just started flashing it’s blue light at us in a threatening manner, so we ran towards it to find out what it wanted. Low and behold there was a new firmware update available for the console.
Unfortunately, the new firmware does not seem to be much to write home about, and very little in regards to brand new features seem to be included. In fact, we can’t seem to find out exactly what it has done, and the firmware version number remains at 3.2U. Of course, small behind the scenes changes to make your Wii run more smoothly, along with fixes for possible security flaws are in there as always so we should be happy about that.
We’ll update if we find anything important that has changed. In particular changes to make Freeloader less effective.

I am sure it has something to do with preparing the shop channel for wii ware next month.

This update isn’t even available in the Uk…
And can’t you use iPlayer in America? :S
It works ok, but the quality is terrible. Not watchable on TV. I’ll stick to my iPhone.
