What is the point of downloading from 3.3 to whatever? I just got a new Wii with 3.3 (usa) firmware. I'm getting a Wasabi v3 installed soon but i already have the Homebrew Channel installed. What is the benefit of downloading from 3.3?

If you mean downgrading, then its because the 'new' 3.3Rev2 is causing issues with Homebrew and so by downgrading it enables people to use the homebrew stuff without issues. If you don't care about homebrew then its not a problem.
Sorry, i mean downgrading. oops. I got the homebrew channel installed. I haven't used it yet. I tried to do the "play backups without a modded Wii" trick and it did not work so i have the homebrew channel installed with a Wasabi chip coming in the mail. My firmware shows 3.3u. Would it actually say "3.3Rev2" in my settings if that is in fact what it actually is? I might use the homebrew channel down the road sometime. Sorry for being such a noob.
