CNET goes hands-on with Wii, touches everything

Simon’s niece from CNET, Veronica Belmont, goes hands-on with the Wii in their First Look video review. New things I learned from this video would be that Veronica Belmont is a southpaw and CNET offices are decorated with goblets of various fluids.

  1. Did you notice the blue light around the disk slot never came on? Not when she was playing the game, not when she loaded a disc. Wheres the blue light?

  2. According to what I read, the blue light comes on when the console is on/stand-by with no game disc inside it. Blue light also comes on when the disc is ejected. Nintendo figured people would need to see the slot in a darkened room (hence it only going on when a disc needs to be inserted/ejected).

  3. "A blue ominous light would appear each time the system was turned on or reset; I almost found myself captivated by its glow. During game play, the system's blue light would shut off and remain off until taken out again. I was told by the Nintendo rep that this was used to help gamers see the slot when the room's lights where off. Now that is good design."– Click on my initials for the link and scroll down to the first paragraph under the pic of the Wii.
