1. Wii Shop Channel

2. Only for DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3... other games ones work like a charm

3. 0 for Nintendo Wi-Fi Games... extremly limited for EA Nation games

4. like 7 (DBZ: Budokai Tenkaichi 3, Mario Strikers Charged, Pokemon Battle Revolution, Madden 08, NBA Live 08, FIFA 08, and Medal of Honor 2)

5. NBA Live 08 in my opinion

6. It's 100% free

7. Between 5-10 dollars

8. WiFi is built in

9. Xbox Live is better then Nintendo Wi-Fi in every way

1. You can buy Games, Channels and more via Wii Shop.
2. Depends on game. For example, MoH:Heroes 2 runs at solid 30 or 60fps (I forget). Games like Mario Strikers Charged, it shows your connedtion before playing other person. If it's a bad connection, you can quit.
3. No Communication via HEADSET. Games like MoH:Heroes 2, you can communicate with set commands (Hold Position, Yes, etc..)
4. Around 10. Battalion Wars 2 is one of them.
5. MoH:Heroes 2. 32-Player online; no lag at all.
6. Assuming you have a router; it's free. If you don't, I think you have to buy a wireless connector which is $30.
7. You can buy channels and VC games. If you buy a Wii Points Card, it's 2000 points. I believe most expensive game is Sin & Punishment - 1200pts. Channels like Internet Channel is 500 pts.. or others like Check Mii Out are free.
8. It's built in.
9. I like it. Internet Channel, you can go on Youtube and shit. IE: I go to southparkzone and I can watch newest episode on my TV. In fact, I'm also typing this on the Wii atm.. for $250 for Wii, and only $5 for internet channel, that's a steal. I believe Xbox has no browser capability, and it plays DVDs. Wow. Buy DVD player for like $30 now. Moreover, Xbox you have to pay for live -- $8 a month. PS3 has DVD Capability and can go on browser.. but for like $450+.

So really, Wii internet is sweet. It is definetly as good as its competitors.

Keep in mind, the Wii can go on internet and also play flash games. Not all atm, but most.

Here (http://www.nintendo.com/wii/virtualconsole/games) are the virtual console games (similar to Live Arcade) and prices. 100 points = $1, so conversion is very easy. I have friends who still think that 400 ms points is $4, which I am sure is the point.

No, the Wii's wireless will not interfere with the Xbox wireless; it's no different than having multiple computers hooked up through wifi.

I hope you just mean internet as in browsing the net. Online gaming pales hugely in comparison to the competition.

They need to stream line it more too, I almost always get a black screen from anywhere from 10 seconds to more than a minute when I start up any online channel, while it's pretty much instantaneous to bring up any online component on the 360 Dashboard.

But in all the online stuff like the browser, store, etc. are fairly well done. I just don't use them much as I'd rather surf the net on my computer or laptop, and don't find much use for the news, weather, votes etc. channels.
