The New Wii Mini - Lower Price but Less Functions?

Merry Christmas everybody! I hope all of you got all the games and gadgets you wished for.

Nintendo came up with the new Wii Mini in time for Christmas hoping that the new low price of $99 would attract new customers. However they took out the online functionality of this unit. Nintendo believes that most gamers do not use the online function. I for one would rather pay the extra $50 and buy the regular Wii because it can be used as a device to watch Netflix online.

How do you feel about this unit?  Would you buy the Wii Mini for the lower price or prefer the regular Wii at the higher price, but with online capabilities? Oh, by the way this unit is available only in Canada!
