The Wii you can mod. (mine is) The latest update Nintendo released said that it MIGHT brick Wii's that had been modified but so far I haven't heard of many reports of bricking. Will they prevent it in a future update? I dunno. I have no idea about the PS3, I hear they're pretty aggressive towards modders. But don't decide because of that, the Wii and the PS3 are two entirely different gaming machines. Look into the games available to each system and then decide on what you want, you don't want to buy a console and then realize that the games aren't as you had expected.
So I got a Wii With Internet. Also with Mario Strikers Charged and Pokemon Battle Revolution and Wii Play and Zelda. ;D
If anyone has any online games lemme know and I'll play against them, I have yet to try the Wii online.
I got a Wii on the Australian release (nerd ) and I've got Zelda, Wii Sports, Wii Play, Monster 4x4, Cooking Mama and Warioware. I'm looking to get Trauma Centre imported too, that game looks sooooooo good When I first got my Wii I looked into mod-chips but I decided I couldn't be bothered I have a good link to a site that can show you how to install the Cyclowiz here at I-hacked. I'm a member, you can see some of my work there, other stuff is members only. I had LOTS of PSP modding stuff on my website Phreak Hacks, but that's not hosted at the moment.
