youtube.com — Someone has YouTubed a portion of the lastest IGN Weekly episode in which Matt C. gives us a detailed look at the Wii hardware. Very nice walkthrough of the hardware. If only there was a GC and Wii size comparison.

@ greatcaffine, very valid point, but having a microwave on the opposite side of my TVs wall, might be an issue as far as lost packets go

@greatcaffeine,Bandwidth isn't the problem with wireless networking. It's latency and packet loss. If you're browsing the web you won't notice, but I can notice the extra lag when playing a game (mostly in a FPS) over a wireless network, rather than wired.

Great video. Ok here's where my OCD comes in now hehe. The part where he took the Wii out of the stand and lay it down flat as horizon that really started to worry me lol. Because all console games I've ever played was always play as horizon and not vertical because I was sacred of the feeling that leaving it at as horizon that the games may get scratch that way. Maybe it wont though maybe the way they may the Wii system works out to play the games with out any problems with it standing as horizon.

Matt Casamassina has a lot of love in the Nintendo community...I admit though he's not the best presenter...
