Wii system update available

Word has come through the wire that a number of updates for the Wii have just been posted. The latest update sees the addition of an option to the Wii Shop which allows the purchase of Virtual Console games as gifts. Simply choose the software, select gift, and choose a friend from your Wii Friends Roster. You can even personalise the gift by attaching your own Mii and a message.

Just been posted?! Stupid thing woke me up at 4:30 this morning bathing my room in a UFO-Blue light... I was not impressed!

Nice little feature though

My alarm clock woke me up at 4:30 this morning, wasn't very impressed. Lol
Anyways, looks like there's finally a reason to have friends on my wii.

What happens if the recipient already has the game??? Or does it automatically tell you right away they they already have that game on their Wii?? It would really suck if you buy a game that they already have.

Any help would be appreciated.

"If the gift recipient already owns the game, the gift-giver receives a simple message and can continue shopping in the catalog, to avoid duplicate gifting."

Official press release ( http://press.nintendo.com/a...

"If your friend already has the game you're trying to give, you'll get a simple message and be bumped back into the catalog to continue shopping."
