All speakers can be microphones.
Not particularly good ones,dual to shape, but they are the same thing in many ways.

Any speaker can be used as a mic.

Over 1,000 games/hour are downloaded for the Wii VC.

Nintendo is giving video game fans a way to access their favorite classic games, all without leaving the comfort of their homes. And gamers have responded en masse as the library of downloadable game classics continues to grow. The upcoming addition of Zelda II â€“ The Adventure of Link on June 4 marks the 100th classic game available on the Wii Shop Channel. And since going online Nov. 19, owners of Nintendo's hot Wii video game system have downloaded more than 4.7 million classic games from Wii's Virtual Console, a rate of more than 1,000 games every hour since launch.

if you'd put a pound in a jar every time there was a new page you could afford a PS3 now!

Yes, but who would want a ps3 with no games?

I dont like the idea of a "wii hard drive" :-/
Why cant it just be any old hard drive?

Its not like they are going to bother inventing a new disk format is it?

What's stopping anyone plugging in a USB external now?

I like the idea of downloading full Wii games. Shame Nintendo have let the online capabilities pretty much go to waste.

SD cards are so cheap they should just let you run stuff off those which IIRC you can't.

I just hope you never need the HD to run future games. They said you would never need one for the 360 but I'm not sure that's still the case.
