Is it worth updating my Wii?

    I haven't bothered even plugging it in in almost 2 years now, but will be hooking it up tonight for a quick blast at Metroid.
    Have there been any worthwhile/cool updates since the update that messed up freeloaders? (I still have 3 imported games, but I might just chuck them on Ebay/Adverts.ie, as I doubt I'll bother playing them again...)

    Deffo worth it alright if only for the ability to play downloaded games straight from the SD card and 32Gig SDHC card support.

    The latest update (4.2 I think, unless there's been another one since) was rumoured to have caused a few problems. It was engineered purely to get rid of the HomeBrew channel and a few security loopholes, but because of problems in the code it could fail while writing the update leading to a dead Wii. Ironically, the only way to prevent this happening or to recover if it does happen is to hack the wii, which sort of defeats the purpose of the update...

    The web browser has been updated and you need the latest shop channel to get it. It's free again, which is nice. There's also the Ambassador program which is a nintendo-sanctioned pyramid scheme... SD channel and SDHC are the main things though.
