Wireless online Frogger kit!

I recently upgraded to the wireless online kit after having the regular kit for a couple of years. Why would I do that? Bragging rights with the family. Whenever I get a new high score I send my family the link. It is worth the few extra dollars for the wireless online version just to be able to do that.
