Support NeoGAF

eh, i figured i'd just make a thread about it just cause. i think it's a very smart move on Nintendo's behalf, and just as good, if not better than busting out Wi-Fi Connection at Mc Donalds.

so yeah, based on the locations here in Los Angeles....

T- Mobile = Starbucks, Boarders, and Barnes & Noble.

guys know of any other places that use T-Mobile Hotspots?

 

[Atari2600]

Red Roof Inn does.

Tons of airports too. I can't remember any specific ones though - they all blur together after awhile.

Wait...when did this happen (T-Mobile deal)???

Link?

Sounds pretty sweet. I hate McDonalds with a passion, so this will allow me to take my DS in public in respectable places. Barnes and Noble is a great place to hang out.

 

[Ironclad]

Very nice.

This is definitely going to broaden the scope beyond McDonanld's customers. Good move.

theres a press release for this?

 

[Spencerr]

The people demand a source.

 

[Oblivion]

Yeah, Phantom, how bout a linky?

 

[Particle Physicist]

is this a speculation thread?

 

[Macam]

And yet, that still does nothing to justify T-Mobile's $40 a mo. asking price.

On the Nintendo Wi-Fi front, the service will work at 6,000 Wayport-enabled McDonald's (as we already knew) as well as at "a limited number" of other T-Mobile hotspots. Reggie Fils-Aime, head of marketing and sales at Nintendo, promises that connecting to home users' WEP-protected routers will be "simple as cake."

How simple IS cake. Isn't it pie? I thought it was simple as pie. Hmmm. I have to look into this.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

limited? hmmm

this would be huge if not for "limited" :/

 

[Wario64]

what about WPA?

 

[Oblivion]

Yeah, I really didn't like the "limited" part, but hey, if just the Starbucks close to me has it, I won't complain .

 

[Spencerr]

This news sounds very incomplete.

I'm still waiting for NintendoWifi.com to launch.

article updated:

Reggie meant to say Wayport, not T-Mobile. Wayport. Nintendo has not ruled out the possibility of working with other providers, however. Also, our correspodent adds that the DS Wi-Fi will support MAC and WEP security but NOT WPA.

Where does it say that?

 

[imastalker co.]

what a burn.

 

[Particle Physicist]

maybe it was a slip of tongue and he wasnt supposed to announce it yet? [takes off ze goggles]

 

[ratcliffja]

Please say Barnes and Noble. That's a place I could actually sit and play for hours without being harassed by a ton of little kids.

 

[Nester]

That's what I was thinking. Hoping.

 

[ToastyFrog]

The T-Mobile news item was in error -- Reggie gave bad info at the press conference and another spokesperson corrected the error a few hours later. DS online is only Wayport for now, although they left the possibility of other partnerships open. My vote is "he let something slip."

 

[koam]

woah nm that's old

[Lhadatt]

Ha!
