It's just a better value-for-money entertainment.
Do the math:
I got my Wii for RM400 (my friend sold his Wii from a lucky draw)
Bought a 1TB hdd + usb cable for RM250
Used my old 2GB SD Card & my used usb keyboard
No need to pay for modchips (softmodding is easy, plays 95% of the games, and actually important too - bootmii!!!)
With wii homebrew, I have a media player, complete with streaming videos from my upstairs pc, Wii with Opera Internet channel, and a few WADs, and Wii Config USB Loader to load hundreds of Wii games from the harddisk, complete with description, cover, image, cheatcodes.
So for RM650, I got a machine that plays DVD, surf the net, watch and stream my downloaded videos, plays tons of games for every single kind of gamer out there (parents, kids, hardcore, rpgers, old school, etc). For something that costs as much as a media center, but can do so much more, I'm not complaining at all

picture this: u go on a vacation , but not intending to go out a lot, or just balik kampung. wii + 2 remote + 1 hdd + power cable is very, very small in size. and the 1TB hdd + wii with SD slot can transfer pics from videocameras and SLRs, and straigth away watch the slideshow pics & videos on the TV. How many times have u wished u got some way to transfer the SLR pics to a harddisk, but too lazy to bring a laptop? Wii is COMPLETE
oh btw, the Wii remote & nunchuck allows me to play a game while hugging someone

for those who had never tried this, you're missing out a lot

like, seriously!!!
