 |
|
I have a US model nintendo wii for sale. You can buy games through play-asia.com, but you'll be busy with 23 games in the meantime. I am selling the following for 750,000 OBO:
Nintendo Wii console
2 wireless remote controllers
2 nunchuck controller attachments
2 traditional controller attachments (for N64/nintendo/snes games)
2 rechargeable battery packs and charger
1 component cable (for newer TVs to get the best picture/sound)
1 normal cable (in case you're playing on something older)
1 wireless sensor bar
1 wired sensor bar (extra)
1 wii zapper gun controller
GAMES
wii sports
link's crossbow training
rayman
super monkey ball banana blitz
zelda: twilight princess
okami
wario: smooth moves
blazing angels
call of duty 3 (not shown in the picture)
mario strikers charged
trauma center: 2nd opinion
house of the dead 2 & 3
tiger woods '09
metroid prime
resident evil 4
nitro bike
the bigs
super paper mario
mario and sonic olympics
sonic riders
madden '08
no more heroes
ghost squad
mlb power pros
I spent more than 1.2 on all of this buying it in the states. It is all in perfect condition, as I rarely used it after I got my new job. I'm leaving for Iraq in August to teach at a uni there, but my friends already working there all have PS3s, so I won't be needing this. |

| Forgot to mention this is un-modded, so you can still download games, play online, etc. (which can be difficult/impossible with modded versions). The price is also 650K OBO, not 750. Thanks. |

So you are trying to justify your ridiculously high price by saying something that isn't true?
You can play online EASILY with a modded wii. I do it all the time. Get with the program. :S |

It's not ridiculous if you are only in the market for legit stuff... lots of accessories. |

| Well, I've read about modded consoles "bricking" (becoming unusable when trying to connect online or download updated firmware). As to the high price, this is all brand-new and from the States, in English, and cost more than twice what I'm asking. Still have the manuals and boxes, as well. |

fair enough, but saying something that isn't true, to attempt make it look sweeter is not cool.

Sorry, but you are incorrect. Bricking is when you update software from a different region. Example if I updating my system (amercian as well) with an update from a Korean gave then yes, it will brick it. There is no worry about playing online. I did last night. |

Ah no.. bricking is anytime your software or firmware blows up so that it doesn't work, hence turning it into a "brick". Anything can randomly brick any electronics. Sometimes specific updates do, but sometimes otherwise normal and safe updates can error for no reason and brick something. Which is why I'm not updating my PSP until I get my hands on a pandora's battery.

You actually brought all the boxes with you? I didn't have room for that kind of stuff. |

I download my updates all the time here in Korea, with no problems whatsoever, so you're wrong livingin. Downloading from a different region can brick consoles, just as modded consoles get bricked because they don't mesh with the new updates auto-downloaded (xbox360 had this problem for a while, as did wii...google it). Wasn't saying something cool at all, just letting those that may care about that know.
Actually, my friend in the states got all this stuff for me and sent it over as a gift and listed a lower value as to avoid tax, so I still have the boxes. |

lol. Ok, you quoted the "general electronics" section of your link... how bout scrolling down specifically for the wii (what we are talking about)
Actually, let me quote it for you..
| crossmr's link wrote: |
The Wii can be bricked by attempting to load a game from a different region than the Wii or changing the wrong region by using AnyRegionChanger, Modifying Preloader and Starfall by crediar, Using AnyTitleDeleter to delete the System Menu to make the Wii unboot, Installing bad WADs with wrong banner size, running Wii discs with malware, updating the wrong region from NTSC-J and PAL discs, and downgrading the wii with the wrong region which causes the Wii to be unbootable and unplayable. For example, attempting to play a game released in European PAL format on a US NTSC-U Wii. Due to disk restrictions on the Wii, however, this cannot be done without the Wii first being modified by the user, by either a modchip, or by using the Twilight Hack. |
Now tell me again... where does it say anything about playing online? This was your link.. you did read it right? 
**edit I update my american wii no problem online. The issue comes from downloading GAMES with a software update on them.. When that is the case you MUST delete that update with something like brickblocker or you will brick your machine. There is no problem playing those burned games online.
I dont think you know much about modding wii's or the issues related to modded wii's so don't say things that aren't true. The facts are..
1. you can play a modded wii online using a burned game.
2. you brick your wii when you play a GAME that has an update on it from a DIFFERENT region than your own. (this is impossible to do on a non modded wii as the dvd will NOT play. |

best of luck to the op with the sale haha.
yay thread.
anyways i'm not sure you're clear on the definition of bricking ... 'the wii can be bricked' as in the wii can be rendered unplayable cuz the user *beep* with it and it's now basically a brick-like object because said user didn't know wtf they were doing.
i updated my psp without bricking it... had to do it like 5 separate times 
getting more and more worried about bricking it with each and every update but it's getting more and more outdated so it's ok. |

The definition is the same.. we are just disagreeing on the way that it can be bricked. The op said his wii is better because you can play online, and that a modded one can't because of it being bricked. That is the point I am disagreeing with. I agree that there is a small risk of bricking when you mod the system.. but the risk of bricking while playing online is a lie. 
Is someone wants to pay that to get legit stuff great.. more power to them. |

Actually I was only correcting you on what the term "bricking" meant. It sounded like you were defining bricking as breaking your system while changing it to firmware from another region. Bricking simply means your software blows up in someway. It cane be done many ways on many electronics. It might only be possible to brick the wii while updating to another regions firmware, but that isn't the definition of bricking. |

Would you be interested in letting go of some of the games seperately? How much would you want for- no more heroes, mario strikers, wario smooth moves, and zelda twilight princess?
Also, I may have a friend that would purchase your controllers (remote and nunchuk) and your wireless sensor bar? Would you sell those separately as well? If so, how much?
Thanks for your time! |

You weren't correcting me at all.. "bricking" can mean different things depending on what it is pertaining too. In this case we are talking about a nintendo wii. That being the case "bricking" is EXACTLY how I describe it. That is why the program used to stop this (remove the software) is called brickblocker..
ps. words have more than one meaning and can mean different things in different situations. |

Do you teach english over here, because wow..just wow.
You've apparently managed to confuse the method for doing something with what something actually is.
The word "brick" when it applies to electronics is the same for any piece of electronics. The software has blown up and the device no longer functions requiring other hardware to fix it.
The method for bricking something varies from device to device. The systems section of that article describes the various methods for bricking those devices but the term "brick" in those cases all mean the same thing. You could brick the wii in another method, by say interrupting it in the middle of an official firmware update. If the power were to cut out while it was applying the firmware or something else it could brick as the firmware would be corrupted.

This grammar is used for two purposes:
1. To demonstrate a method or way of doing something. E.g. food can be cooked in an oven.
2. used passively to indicate who can do something. E.g. food can be cooked by a chef
it is not used to define the meaning of the verb. For that we'd have to go back to the first sentence in the article:
| Quote: |
| When used in reference to electronics, "brick" describes a device that cannot function in any capacity (such as a device with damaged firmware). |
