So I've been messing around with the wii for quite some time now. And have come to a conclusion
Those waiting for Warranties to run out are wasting their time and money.
Look at it this way. Here in aus a wii sets you back roughly $388.
A modchip costs - $150 installed
So with that in mind... Wii + Modchip = 388 + 150 = $538
Now with those two items games have gone down in price from $40-$90 down to about the cost of a DVD.
So working on that theory... If we divide the number of games required to make $388 which is the price of a we, we get a figure of roughly 6 Games @ $70 a pop (Which most of the good games are priced at)
Considering I know some people with collections over 55 Games which if purhcased at that price would amount to $3850 ... thats the same as buying 9 Wii consoles with some change left over.
So why wait for warranty to run out when the savings your making on your "backups" more than pays for the wii quite a few times.
Have been playing with mPlayer on the wii and have to say its comming along in leaps and bounds. If only someone could get XBMC to run on the wii.. that would be heaven. A wifi Media Streamer small enough to take with you :D
