It won't be long before software pirates figure it out and start hacking it...

But otherwise, cool. Wink

Nintendo also unveiled a function Friday that allows users to send each other games over the Internet using the Wii's shopping channel.

With a few clicks, a user will be able to select a game to send as a gift to another user online, Iwata said. When the recipient accepts, the Wii automatically launches the shopping channel and begins the download.

Now we can have digibutter.nerr secret santas! Every member gets assigned a member to buy them a VC game. Razz

"We think this will be a breakthrough in encouraging customers to spread news of fun games word of mouth," Iwata said. "We also hope to spur more users to connect their Wiis to the Internet," he said.

You know what would get every single Wii owner on the planet to connect to the internet? Super Smash Bros. Brawl demo.

Well, that's just great! Gifts are fun to give and get. Though I really think giving them is more fun... hey, don't look at me! I'm not gonna give you presents!

I wonder if you can send a VC game you already bought just like that without spending money on it again.
