Just got my Wii, i have a few questions.

Ok, well first off....WOOT!!! lol had to get that out of my system. Basicaly, i got my Wii yesterday for my birthday, and i absolutely love it. i just want to ask a few questions so i don't go off and damage it within my first week of owning one. first off, is there any over heating problems? i have mine on an open shelf next to my 360 and the shelf is completely open so its pleanty ventelated. but will i need any kind of intercooler? second, when i turn it off, should i keep the light yellow or red? whats the difference? are either safer or better for the console? i think that sums up all my questions, and i really appreciate all the help i can get. thanks in advance =]

one you don't need a cooler the wii has a fan, secondly about the colors when its yellow that means its on standby and is waiting for updates through wii connect 24, but it dosent really matter what color it is

hopes this helps :P 

You're better off reading the manual, than waiting for replies from board members.

 If u dont really feel like reading the whole thing, just use the index or the table of contents.

Bottom line, READ THE MANUAL.

I just got my wii without even opening it and i want to know, do you have to buy the web browser or is it free?fremefreak

    I for one have never had a heat problem... ALTHOUGH, there are issues. 

    If you see random flashing pixles on the screen when playing a game (this commonly happens in pause screens) this is a GPU overheat issue.  You can try a few things like unplugging it instead of leaving it on standby while running a 360 right next to it, but whatever the case it seems like a small issue that really doesn't merit doing anything more... and certainly don't spend more money to correct it.
