Brent, you and other Wii-haters can say the Wii is just a GameCube with a new controller all you want, but that won't make it true.
Yes, the architecture it almost identical, but at the very least the Wii's processor and GPU are clocked at much higher speeds than those of the GCN, making the idea that they can just pop the ones from the GCNs into the Wii absurd. As well, the Wii versions have some extensions to them that add some new capabilities. So it really is a different system, just with a similar architecture.
But enjoy your anti-Nintendo sentiments all you want, while I enjoy my Wii.
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
