I'm just safer sticking to Pal versions aint I? So if a Wii were to brick, how would one fix that? Is it possible to?

Yep, by brick I mean it turns into a bright white expensive paperweight. I think there might be a way to unbrick it, but that's something I know zero about. (and don't really wanna go down that road)

The only thing I know of involving new games and updates, is that Resort has a problem that if you play a VC/WiiWare game off a SD card, then go to play Resort, it'll make you watch the 3 minute Motion+ video again. 4.1 fixes that problem. I don't play anything off a SD card, so I'm not worrying with the update. I just hope the update isn't on the disc and requires it to play. (I'm actually buying it).

As far as sticking with PAL, I would do it, but only because I/we are pretty novice with this kind of stuff and don't wanna fuck anything up.

Agreed

I think I might actually have already used some NTSC games un-wittingly, I'll just stick with the Pal ones. I'll stick with what I know and avoid what I don't know.

I'm sure Nintendo are thinking about ways to stop this happening. I would imagine alot of new games will require new firmware for things to work. I don't really have an interest in Sports Resort, but I'll be interested to see how it works out. I don't use my SD card for anything about saving stuff, as I don't need it for the back up loader and that's mainly what I use it for,

Thanks for the help today, been enlightening, hopefully this will help anyone else who want to do it and has quesitons
