Freeloader Questions

I want to pick up a freeloader disk so that I can import wii games that take ages to come out over here in the UK, but have been hearing mixed reports about their usefulness.I've herd that their has been an update to the wii that rendered the device useless, is this true?If so can I restore my wii to the original firmware version and still play new games?I'm at work right now so i cant check these things myself, but would appreciate any answers you guys could give me.ThanksFreeloader Questions

Do NOT buy a freeloader if you want to play any future Nintendo games, download any from the Virtual Console, or update your Wii.They're a waste of money and only the most gullible of the gullible are buying them.
