| McDonalds already has WiFi hotspots available for use in most of its locations: »www.mcdwireless.com. $3 gets you two hours access according to their site. (free in Katrina-affected zones)
I imagine it would be difficult enough to use a laptop touchpad with french-fry greasy fingers...wonder what using that DS stylus would be like.

1 edit | Gotta give points Gotta give points to Nintendo for really trying to give their online service a strong push...because I admit that I expected them to be halfhearted in this attempt.
Original Props goto M$ though for showing Nintendo what they were missing out on by having Live up and ready to go at the launch of xbox.
Edit: This means that I'll have more places to play Mario Kart DS online ^_^ | |

Xbox Live was not launched when the Xbox was launched. You used to have to use software to spoof through your PC to get online. | |

And I did not say connect my PC to Xbox Live. I clearly stated you would "SPOOF THROUGH YOUR PC" using software That is the way we were connecting before Xbox Live existed.
The main point of the post is that Xbox Live did not launch at the same time as the Xbox. | |

Orange, CA | Does Nintendo still use WEP If so, you will not need to step inside a McD's. Since it only takes 3 minutes to crack WEP, you get access tot eh network before the person on line in McD's gets his/her gruel (err food)... | |

| Article is biased... "The move is part of a larger effort to connect DS and the upcoming Revolution users to a Nintendo run broadband gaming network (set to go live November 14), something they failed at with their last console release." Wrong. They never attempted any kind of online service for their GameCube, but they gave the option to other companies to attempt one. Sega was the only one in the US to take advantage of the GameCube's online capabilities. | |
