I work for a school district and if we got these we'd want to join them to our school domain for shared folders, group policies, etc. With Home we wouldn't be able to join the domain.
Smart idea, but I agree having to put in a disk is annoying. Certainly another drawback of only having 512MB of built in memory... it sounds like you'd always have to have the disk in if you want to watch something.
I don't think it's a big deal not having HD, considering DVDs are only 480p. For people who only have a Wii, this sounds like a good service.

Is this true? I've had mine for about 3 years now, and it is getting to the point where certain buttons (Guide and fast forward come to mind) don't work, I have to push them a bunch or real hard. I'm having to map their functions to other buttons I don't really use (like Pic)
I haven't played this new version yet, but perhaps this is a special mode where creeps come out of all 4 sides and have to get to the center? It looks like creeps are going through the maze.
