Basher Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I was selected in a lottery at work to purchase a discounted Wii system. I don't know why I entered, as I am not interested, but figured someone might want a deal.Cost is $234 plus tax, free shipping. PM me ASAP if interested, you must be able to send me an Interac Email Money Transfer for the final amount or walk in to a back to deporit the money BEFORE I place the order, which has a deadline of tomorrow.Apparantly these things are hard to find.

Basher Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Oh, and before anyone asks me to move this to the BST subforum, note that as this is a time-sensitive offer, I didn't want it to sit in a forum that gets 6 threads a month.

Jaimoe Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Very generous Basher, but Wii's are sold-out everywhere and you probably could make a tidy profit if you put it up on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I know, I know, but I am leaving for Vegas in 9 days and don't really want to deal with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 BTW, if someone does take me up on this offer they can definitely NOT resell it for a profir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 do you think it would arrive by xmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Looks like maxwebster is in. AD, they say it will, but I can't guarantee it. Also, there is a chance they will not let me have it shipped to another person (Employee Purchase Plan), and I am leaving town on December 20th, returning xmas eve.

bouche Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I know of a few people desperate for a Wii. One of them bought one at about $100 inflated cost on ebay. Ludicrous! I would have bought it from you just to help someone out in the spirit of all things xmas.very spirity of you to sell it at cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basher Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 I won't say I didn't consider eBaying it, but with my recent good fortune I didn't want to mess with karma - especially with a Vegas trip 9 days away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balogna pogna Posted December 11, 2007 Report Share Posted December 11, 2007 Christmas came early thanks to Basher!Now I just have to figure out how to play the games I see listed for download on torrent sites. Some say PAL & some say NTSC so I guess the games are on DVD format discs & also regional.Does anyone know if you need a chip or something to play burned games? Bouche?I guess I'll have to visit the Gamehenge section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I don't think the Wii is easy to hack. If you want to use it online at all, you don't want to hack it. Nintendo will patch your console and it'll probably be fucked.Just buy wicked games that are worth playing. Super Mario GalaxyMetroid PrimeResident Evil 4 (wii version)Legend of Zelda Twighlight Princessand then get all your nostalgic games from the Wii online store.

balogna pogna Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I'm pretty excited about finding old games I played as a kid.I know it's Gamecube compatible and I'm thinking of getting rid of mine but will my Donkey Kong Bongos and Dance Dance Revolution Pad work with the Wii? If not it's probably worth holding onto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 yes. it has ports for gamecube controllers and memory cards.wii is a great little machine.here's a list of virtual console games available now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not it's probably worth holding onto. And the new Wii Mario Party isn't getting good reviews, so if you have Gamecube versions (the best is #4 or #6 IMO), play them on the Wii.

bouche Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 here is some info on installing a mod chip, but i'll bet it would be more of a hassle than it would be worth. http://www.modchip.ca/install/wii/wii.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balogna pogna Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 You're probably right. I've just been noticing a lot of Wii games on piratebay lately. I was hoping you didn't need a chip to play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 If you're looking to play NES, SNES, and all those other fun games and still be able to play the newer high end graphical games, get a PSP. I know there small but you can put hacked firmware on them and download hundreds of PSP games, all the NES games, all SNES games...you can even hook it up to you TV.I just got one for Cain and have been playing around with it before X-mas rolls around, installed all the hacked firmware and got about 200 PSP games and around 30 NES games installed on it through an emulator...definitely worth the price.
