It says no rumble feature

No black color & rumble feature. That's it, normal black GC controller for me. Actually, i'm buying black to match the upcoming black wii (if US version ever come here lol).

Make sure the cable is black as well

I'd even paint the cable if i had no choice lol.

Just a question here, can anyone tell me why I should buy an Original Wii for RM1,2XX if I can get a modified set for as low as RM7XX? What are the benefits to justify paying more?

I only know that the mod version cannot update the console system.

Less chance of bricking.. but that's just as lame as the reason gets.. something I'm very disappointed with too

1. Your wii has been tempered, so in a way, its 2nd hand. that's why its cheap.
2. You are force to have learn some things about your wii to avoid bricking it. Make one mistake and your wii is doomed.
3. You will have issues related to modding, and fixing them (if you haven't brick you wii that is) will require you to have some indepth knowledge of your Wii (there are lot of forums to help you out though, but these forums are constantly bombarded by confused people asking confuse questions....just read www.afterdawn.com....).
4. Your wii is only good until nintendo introduces the next update version 5.0. Remember nintendo is very much against modding. So version 5.0 will DEFINITELY very likely work against the modded wii. so your future may not be so bright.
5. You will spend a great deal of time managing your modded wii. some people say its still worth the time (we all know why), but some people just want to play games and not worry about it.

i see, hmm, got stealth mod or not? (Can I get answer here?)

Is modded can go online to purchase Virtual Console or not? I really like Super Mario Bros. 2, the only NES game I ever finish it, quite nostalgia

Original Wii get it at Best Denki? Thanks.

What does modded Wii means? And what's the advantage of getting an unmodded one? Why are there modded US Wii versions and modded Korea versions? Are those illegal? And what does multiregion version means? Sorry I want to buy a Wii but I'm confused by all the Wii versions

Say, is there any way to play original japanese wii games on US console without hard modding it? Meaning the ability to play cross region but keeping the originality of the console & buying original games at the same time.

modded wii cannot do online update..
how about offline update ?

lets say the modded wii is v4, and nintendo latest is v5.
can i still play latest game(games launched after v5) using v4 software?
or this software thing is only essential if you go online and it doesnt matter if you are using wii offline.

1. modded wii mostly can go online.
2. modded wii mostly can purchase virtual console
3. Originnal wii (unmodded) can get from best denki. you will know it is unmodded just by the price of rm 12XX

the wii was meant to be purchased unmodded. but some people see the value of a modded wii. but with that value comes with issues, and it is hard to list these issues, coz it depends on lot of factors like what chip you have, what firmwaare you load in that chip, what update version your wii is on, and etc. That it is why it is called modded wii. it did not come out from the factory looking like that. and that is also the reason is hard to list of the problems you will face. So for peace of mind, buy unmodded. Else go ahead and buy modded, but be prepared to be hassled when things doesn't work the way it suppose to. Just go to the forums that specialize in these problems, and read through some of the questions people ask concerning modded wii, and you will get a glance what u will be potentially facing.

when you buy a laptop, do you request your windows xp to be original, or do you try to find a pirated copy and face the challenges that come with it. just apply the same decision making process in purchasing your wii. although a modded wii is not illegal like pirated windows xp, but it has the same end result. I don't see many people purchasing a modded wii solely to play region free original games.

Can anyone give me a list of places where I can get an unmodded Wii? Also, does anyone know where I can get a Rock Band 2 Wii bundle?

You can try Gamer's Hideout at Cineleisure or Tropicana mall. Apart of that like previous post at Best Denki.

There's a member called greyshadow selling his unmodded US Wii, can PM him for best price

I WAS TOTALLY & UTTERLY....


IGNORED

Missed it

Softmod should do the job (from many people's advice here) but I haven't done it myself and decided to just play PAL region games thus updating beyond the allowable firmware now.

hahahaha .. by ?
