The defining use for the Wii Opera browser, is, of course, watching all the insanity of YouTube on your fancy-big TV. The site, however, is not quite conducive to the low-resolution viewing conditions found on the Wii, and is thus rather inconvenient to browse effectively.
Enter: SofaTube. A website dedicated to the perusing of not only YouTube but also the Revver library of videos, using a convenient drag-and-drop interface and large text for easy reading. So sit back, relax, and enjoy that Opie and Anthony video one more time ... it's that easy.

Looks like a cool idea, with a few little problems (see the above post).
For me, it has one "show-stopper". The ads. The screenshot does not show the fact that about 30% of the page is covered with ads. The videos and stuff all show over the ads, but I can't stand the huge ads. Pet peeve I guess.
I am sure someone will soon come up with a better version soon.

I tried this out to look for those subliminal sprite ads.
The concept is amazing, the execution isn't quite there.
I was using it on a 32" sd tv with the composite cables and the text was still a bit too small to read very clearly, and the bigger problem was that after I searched for a video, the scroll bar/scroll buttons were incredibly finicky to the point of annoyance. If they can fix that I forsee them getting a LOT of attention.
A great idea.

Good concept, but the writing is still to small, and the site crashed the wii 2 times now. I'm tired of the . us thing too.us

Oh, hell no, not that opie and anthonly crap. Worst shit on radio, period. Not because they're offensive or anything (I don't mind stern), but just because they're so damn immature and all-around retarded. It's like two junior high kids got stuck in adult bodies and were given a radio show.
