Just curious... some places get it, others dont.

Wii is a Nintendo video game that allows u to use your body to interact with the program.. kind of cool, but its very Japanese.

The Wii is all over the place here. Just go into any electronics place here, and you'll find it everywhere.

To anyone who tried Wii fit, do u find it annoying how the program scolds you for missing a day of yoga or exercise? And then, your little Wii character will be sleeping when u get to the menu... the program is too motherly

I bought one on the weekend. Can't stop bowling and playing tennis, but my GF prefers golf because she kicks my ass (almost) every time. My arm is sore.

a word of warning: Wii consoles that are sold in Korea will not be compatible with games bought overseas. I remember the Korean gaming community being furious when the announcement was made.

You actually don't need to get a mod chip anymore.

They have broken the code by using the "twilight hack". You can use the homebrew code to instal an ios reader.

Before I go on, don't tell my girfriend how much of a dork I am, (she is already on to me...).

All you need to crack the wii software is an SD card, like one you probablly have in your camera, and a copy of "Zelda: Twilight Princess", and a few hours to waste.

I'll write the directions in a couple minutes.

My god... I tried writing it but I realized how long it would take me.

Anyway, a quick look in google will show you the way. Worked for me.
