Also the advanced controls allow u to point to the player u want to pass to with the wiimote I think

remember, wii is sold by default unmodded. If u buy a brand new car, do you like it to be delivered as is or with modification? a modded console is as good as a 2nd hand.

1. any card also can. Although there are recommended cards for wii, i think is just marketing gimmick. I bought the cheapest card on the market. unbranded some more.
2. the size keeps growing la, i lost track already. but in context of the wii, it supports up to 32 gb max.
3. murah saje. a 2 gb card would be about rm25. that was 1 year ago. maybe cheaper now.

perhaps can change the analogy to "u wanna bohsia or a virgin" tongue.gif

bohsia can be an all rounder but she may have some diseases u dunno biggrin.gif n insurance doesn't cover their medical expenses.

for cars..modified one is not entirely bad..some even have custom made biggrin.gif

i wouldn't buy anything from anybody who modifies my purchase, even with good intentions. and in the case of the wii, modding iti definitely makes the wii worst. but of course some people think its still worth the trouble.

i'll just cut the chase and answer how most like it to be answered. coz i know it will get to that point eventually.

modded to play pirate (although some do buy modded for valid reasons, but they are from mars). unmodded to play original. difference is you get to play pirates on modded wii, but comes with hassles (please don't ask me to elaborate, just google it). If modded you only can play original, but its hassle free.

I beg to respectfully disagree.
People mod (I'm talking about soft-modding here) their Wii to extract the most of the potential of the Wii. For example by loading homebrew, it opens up a much wider array of applications and stuff u can do with the Wii. MY Wii is now my media streaming center using MPlayer CE. No need to buy a separate media player. Just plug in my external HDD into the USB slots and I'm good to go. Also it can be used to play DVDs for those who feel so inclined to (not me biggrin.gif ). Besides you can also stream online radio and video.
Also u can run lots of homebrew games that contributors develop for free...simple but fun.
One useful homebrew application (to me la) is the balance board tool. U can use your balance board as a weighing scale! Beats going into Wii Fit everytime I want to check my weight or weigh stuff rclxms.gif

Of course there is the element of piracy as well, but that's just like saying we shouldn't allow the VCR just because it can copy shows as well. Some ppl do use it to backup their original games (which cost a bomb btw) to avoid being damaged by their kids (or themselves).

HOwever I would agree that an unmodded Wii will be relatively hassle free, as u have to have a little knowledge of modding and read up a lot before doing the mod.

Good luck with whatever your choice is, coz either way the Wii is tops!

i was going to answer in that manner (therefore i agree with u), but like i said, i decided to cut the chase. you see there are the 'purely geniune' group who mod their machines for the purely geniune legal reasons. and their objective of modding is as what u mentioned. but there aren't many of them! most of them are from the 'not purely geniune' group, i.e. they are the 'test first before i buy original' group. or the 'buy original if i love it, else just pirate it' group. Modding give you the avenue to pirate. i am not an advocate of making the wii do more other then a game console, coz u can do all that on a pc

As of the 4.0 System menu update, the SD card can be used to store Wiiware or Virtual Console games downloaded from Wii Shop Channel. Previously it had to be saved in the Wii system memory.
Also it can be used to load Homebrew Channel and applications, if your Wii is soft-modded.

Still it isn't fair to just generalise and say all modders are piraters.
I use it to region free my Wii (I've got a PAL one btw) so I can play NTSC games as well. That doesn't really constitute as piracy does it?
Just feel it's unfair for Nintendo to lock their games to regions and assume ppl in the UK will not like to play Jap titles. For once Sony and Microsoft are doing the right thing with the PS3 & Xbox respectively.

it isn't so much of that mentioned issue... it's licensing issue.
