Just because Nintendo doesn't mouth about like pretentious twats, doesn't mean they don't treat gaming as a serious art form. That also doesn't mean games can't be fun either.

OK- Cheers Steve-O. I will report back when I have broken my Wii :(

This cheap? ;) http://www.huntertools.co.uk/index.php?mai...roducts_id=5938 Also, is all solder the same? I take it I want lead-free 0.8mm or something? Thanks for the help... I really don't know what the hell I am doing and want to be fully prepared for the chips arrival. I think I might...

Thanks Steve-O; just ordered my WiiKey today too. I haven't soldered since school though and I was shit then! I just know I am gonna break my Wii. Does the chip come with solder or do I need to buy some? Also, is a 15w cheap soldering iron up to the job?

http://modyawii.tehskeen.com/ is a great site. It has reviews of the chips and installation guides. However, it is not yet up-to-date with news of the WiiKey, which can apparently play imports and doesnt have the slow disk reading problems that CycloWiz does. I think WiiKey is the way to go...

Fair enough but that is a totally different argument and is surely not akin to saying that every Wii game "blows chunks" whatever that may mean.

absolute garbage. Excite Truck, Wario Ware, and Rayman are all great fun and have reviewed quite well.

Yeah, but that's because most people didnt have a GameCube. I'd guess that the vast vast majority of PS3 owners have had a PS2 and therefore had the chance to play PS2 releases.

I kinda disagree shinneri. I think technology which is entrenched and can be implemeted cheaply should be. WiFi should be pretty much standard on all new technology. It would be dirt cheap to include and is useful for people who don't have ethernet sockets in their front rooms (ie- nearly...

I think this thread proves that the GP2X community isn't as stupid as some mods seem to think. We are able to talk about things that matter without it turning into an all-out flame war. Plus, I havent seen so many pages in an off-topic thread since the evolution one. Oh and the Mac one. But...

Recently, there have been so many good PS2 titles coming out. FFXII, Okami, Digital Devil Saga 2, God Hand etc. There is no need to have a next-gen console at the moment, especially not a PS3. I just hope that some of the best games ever to grace the platform aren't overlooked because of the...

I realise that. It's a great thing that WiFi is included in the console. HD and Card Reader too. Not so impressed with the Blu-Ray inclusion though but that is another story. I am just pissed off with Sony's treatment of the European market. They realise that the xbox is not as big a threat...

I genuinely believe that Sony thinks it has Europe all sewn up. Xbox is nowhere near the Playstation in brand terms. I think Sony believes that a shitter product at a much higher price is ok because they have little chance of coming behind the Xbox in Europe. I can't believe that European...

My point is that Europeans are already expected to pay much more for a console than their US and Japanese counterparts. A PS3 is the UK is £425. That's $830. If this change will make console production cheaper, then why the hell are we still expected to pay 200 odd dollars more than the US...

This would easily be alright if Sony passed their savings on to the customers, but I am sure they have absolutely no intention of doing so, so it isn't.

We are complaining because a forum we have enjoyed for years is being made worst for no apparent reason. And it's not just two of us. The vast majority of posters seem to enjoy free speech.

Whats the point in having an off-topic section then?

It doesn't really matter if Obama can't win votes in the South (other than Florida). Because of the crappy electoral system the result will probably be decided by Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania. Obama could poll at 1% in states like Texas and Alabama and still win. If you think he has a chance...

He shouldn't have started a message board, allowed it to flourish, and then five years later start censoring like mad. This site is the site of the community. The community has made it what it is. Obviously we are grateful to Hando for facilitating this, but that doesn't mean we have to accept...

To be fair to ED, I think he has made the legal argument in good faith. However, it is clear that legal concerns were not a factor in the rule change. We have had lively discussions in the past about everything from the Iraq War to the death penalty, from Saddam Hussein to George Bush. Not to...
