Well I got the internet channel a few days ago. Its not really good for games. If you want to just surf the internet or watch vids on youtube then I think you should get, especially if the PC(s) are/is usually occupied. I personally like it. And its only 500 points. But probably my only complaints are its lack of flash memory and a good flash player. The channel does not run any site, document, program; etc. that requires anything more than Flash Player 7. Also if the site or program does meet the above requirement buts runs on a high amount of flash memory, a message will pop up stating that you do not have enough flash memory and it will give you the option to attempt to reload the page. I know this may sound like a major drawback, but like I said earlier, its useful if the PC(s) are occupied and/or light web surfing. Btw I'm posting all of this on the internet channel on my wii lol :D
