    Game Consoles Can Be Porn Gateway

    http://www.wfaa.com/sharedcontent/dw....2073d3ef.html

    But because the Wii, the PS3 and other game consoles have Internet access, it's easy for kids to access porn.

    "It's very upsetting something this popular—a kid game—can go that direction so quickly," Schroeder said.

    Young kids get it. In a blog, one child boasted, "The first thing I thought of when I downloaded the Wii browser was also porn."

      This thread sparks a dumb question that isn't an attempt to hijack but I gotta ask, if Consoles have Web Browsers, wouldn't they be susceptible to viruses as well?

        if someone knew of an exploit ( exploits) in a console's web browser, then they can potentially write something that would use that exploit to perhaps access parts of the hardware that they shouldnt be tampering with; or more malicious activity.

          So it is possible?

            well, nothing is impossible. Just not sure if someone is out there is looking for browsers exploits on a console.

              Why waste time going through your game system when you can just use your computer?

              That's, what, 3-5 minutes wasted turning on the system and setting everything up? Damn kids need to learn to manage their time.

                  I guess Nintendo was being very thoughtful when designing a controller that you can use with one hand... :y4:

                      LOL!! Wii in both my hands.......

                      The game console virus thing has me thinking of not wanting one for the 360. Not really seeing the reason for one in the first place. If you have access, then you have a computer most likely.

                          Now we know why Nintendo issued the replacement straps as well... They didn't want people swinging their "Wii" around and whacking all around the room...

                          Too many televisions cracked thus far... Although I've never thought about smacking the television with my Wii.

                            Its one of the reasons that the 360 doesnt have a web browser.
