Wii System Update v3.3 Released











A new update has been released for the Nintendo Wii. Here are the changes:

  • “With this update you now move a Mii from the Mii Plaza to the Mii Parade in the Mii Channel. To do this, simply pick up the Mii with the A and B buttons and then release it over the Mii Parade icon in the upper-right corner of the screen.“
  • "Because unauthorized modifications to save files" (a.k.a. Twilight Hack) "may impair game play or the Wii Console, updating to Wii Menu version 3.3 will also check for and automatically remove such save files."

Goozex: Online Video Game Trading


















Goozex is an online video game trading community that allows you to trade in your games for points which you can use to purchase other games on their site. You can trade Xbox 360, Wii, Playstation 3, PC, DS, PSP, GBA, Playstation 2, Xbox, Ps1, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and Mac games. I signed up about a month ago and I really like it. To trade in a game, you first list the game on the Goozex site and when they find somebody that wants the game you have listed, they'll notify you. Once you send out the game, your account will be credited the point value for the game. You will have to pay for shipping the game but you can ship most games for about $1.50 by USPS. For every game you purchase on the site you need 1 trading credit, which are $1 each, and the required number of points (Which you can get by sending a game to somebody or by buying points). New members get 100 points and 1 trade credit when they sign up, that's a free game! There are a lot of games you can get with 100 points. I got Bomberman Party Edition (Ps1) for free when I signed up. Click here to go to the site and sign up. It's definately worth a try for a free game!
