Okay, I'm not asleep, am I? A Wii version of a game being given the advantage? Better graphics, more features and no damned Friend Codes?! I have to pinch myself cause I must be dreaming.
…
Ow. Wtf. This shit be insane.

Well that's good..
Only I moved from Wii to 360, Guitar Hero-wise, after Legends of Rock so it doesn't really matter to me anymore.

Ha, what even stranger is that no one has figured out that each DS has a individual system friend code, and that we are still (if you bother anymore) entering different ones for each game.
This was a long time coming, but i doubt it is going to become standard. I also think they have made it sound more rosy then it is. I think the system is more alike mario kart then we are imagining. In which codes can be added though invites.

I would care a lot more if it was something other than Guitar Hero. It's the kind of game that is fun in person after a few drinks, but I can't see myself playing it online.
It's nice that the option is there, and its great to see developers taking steps in the right direction with the Wii's online system. If anything that is the real victory here. Hopefully this will start a trend that people can't dick around with Wii owners because the system isn't as good as XBL or PSN.

I said mostly taken care of because the Jasper boards have had a low rate of RRoD since their launch.
Why did it take them 3 years to come up with using the normal, built-in Wii Address Book Friend Codes? WHY?!?!?!?!?!
Matt: How do you know the Jasper boards have had a low rate of RRoD?
Not trying to show you up, just curious where you got that info from.

Now that I'm digging into it since you asked I can't find any numbers stating that RRoD has gone up, down or stayed the same way Eternal, just articles that say the Jasper should stop the RRoD. I know from personnel experience of my friends and I who have Jaspers that none have ever Red Ringed, but as far as a case study goes there doesn't seem to be much out there. Though the lack of any news being reported on it either way means everyone gave up or the issue has become less prevalent, which was my initial assumption.
It's about goddamn time. Why wasn't this implemented from the fucking beginning if it can be done now?
@EternalDeath Slayer:
I don't have any hard numbers either (I don't think they've been released), but I can say that speaking with folks from Microsoft, they seem to think the RROD issues are a thing of the past with the introduction of the Jasper boards. Consider the source, however, but that's the word on the street. Only time will tell, though.

Well if this passage from this months Gameinformer is to be believed
and I quote
"Red rings in the finacial red
Microsofts red ring problems are well documented.The company went public with it woes in 2008,saying that it set aside 1 billion dollars to deal with the problem.While the companys effort are sincere,and 1 billion dollars is a heavy hit to take, we're hearing that so far the problem has exceeded 1 billion dollars and is showing no signs of slowing."
I'm guessing the jaspers did'nt do much as the problem seems to be going unhindered depite MS's best efforts.

So I doubt you'll find numbers because it seems the new moddels are showing symptoms as well and ms has been giving the impression its over( and I bought that new 360 thinking I was safe,BULLSH*T). If anything the new and old models are acting up, so it seems the problem actually......got worse(or is just as bad depending on how you look at it, I dont know about you but after all I went through to trick gamestop into trading in my old model for a new one hearing this one breaks just as easily kinda ticked me off).

I love the guys over at Vicarious Visions. They work closely with the school I attend and even provide a couple professors for the Game Design and Game Mechnics classes. Those are some very cool peeps over at VV.
I still don't understand why friend codes ever had to exist. Usernames are more efficient, function the same way, and flat out cooler in every aspect.
