Hihi folks!
Planning to buy a Wii real soon, but still very much a nooblet.
Hope you guys can give me your expert advice.

First of all, I'd like to clarify that I WILL be buying an original unmodded wii. Buy just want to know:

1. Besides unmodded can go online, and modded can play 'backups', what is the difference between unmodded and modded?
* Sorry I just saw a post above said 'Yes Ori or modded wii can play online' - is this true? Then why not go for modded then...

2. Which version should I get? So many versions - American set? etc?

3. How can I prevent my wii from being, what ppl say 'bricked'?

Edit: Also want to ask
4. Wii can play GameCuybe games right. Can unmodded Wii play backup GC games?

thx for reply guys.
but yorrr, now seems modded > unmodded by far.
so many advantages. why should i stick to unmodded leh...

Want to ask:

1. What is 'softmod'?
Where can I learn more about it. Tried googling but most results are too general, most non-wii specific.

2. What does 'defiled' mean? Is it the same meaning as 'bricked'?

3. I see some shops selling 'region-free' set. This means modded right?

4. Why original is RM900+, but these region-free is selling at RM800+? I thought modded should be more expensive.

thx for reply guys.
so let's say i 'softmod' my wii, i can always revert it back?
will there be any damages if softmod or revert wrongly?
