    As I said earlier, have just ordered from e2save.com and think they still have stock left. £247. Hope this one works, as Argos didnt for me!
  • £90 for 2 games :rotfl:

    whats so funny about that most bundles are charging 39.99 each for the games. so only 10 over rrp.

    But this is a Money Saving site :mad:
  • Actually I don't think it is legal anymore. In principle there should be nothing wrong with modifying a console just so you can play games from other global regions. However Mr Nintendo would argue that the point of these chips is primarily to circumvent anti-piracy measures they've taken.

    Another thing to bear in mind if you're considering chipping your Wii: Nintendo is acutely aware of what the chips are, how they work and frequently embeds games with ROM-flash files that will, if played on a chipped console effectively knacker the Wii and reduce it to nothing more than a nice looking paperweight!

    Alas the warranty is also rendered null and void...

    At the end of the day its your property so I cant see why you cant do what you want with it. Fair enough if you've got pirate copies of games thats illegal, but if you're using genuine out of region games I cant see how its illegal.

    Thats like saying its illegal to own a car because you might speed in it....

    There are some games that will do the updates you mention but there are ways to prevent this happening now.

    Of course, if you take your Wii to pieces and solder something onto the mainboard its gonna invalidate your warranty !!!!

    was just trying to be helpful and offer someone a bundle i have no need for very close to rrp (what i paid), not trying to rip people off, just trying to be helpful.

    Sorry if i offended you, but though someone might be interested rather than paying similar prices on ebay etc just for the console and who haven't got time to sit a a computer allday.

    I was only going to make about 10 quid.

    appologies.
