Hacking New Wii Purchase and System Update

[Thingmaker]

Out of curiosity, if one was to purchase a new wii - will it come with 4.0 automatically, or does it depend on how current the store's stock is?

That's obvious? If the Wii's were shipped the the store before 4.0 was out, they will be on whatever system menu they were shipped with.

My buddy bough his gf a Wii for christmas and it came with a REALLY old version, like close to release date version.

Don't take my word for it, but I would guess that no store has Wiis with 4.0 yet.

Thanks - yeah it's pretty obvious question, but I'm trying to now hunt down a second wii - one that wasn't updated. The turn around on these is high which makes it tricky.
