give people an inch, they take a mile. That's why nintendo decided against supporting UDF and other standard formats for the GC and Wii.
Yeah, any room to maneuver and someone with mad hacking skillz! will wedge the door then force it open
Exactly. Though the Wii isn't hack proof (three modchips on the market, lawl), at least Nintendo's non-standard disc makes it much harder for people to pirate; I've heard stories of people having to use certain (higher quality) media and you can only rip Wii games with very specific DVD-ROM/RW drives. Sure makes it harder for just anyone, though the determined will go the distance. :thumbsup: Can't stop them! XD Anyhow, I expect the Wii to still maintain the status quo on Nintendo console hardware reliability; however, I do believe it will have more problems than previous Nintendo consoles (based on what I've heard so far up until now).
1080peter, this is true. the GC and the Wii are ESPECIALLY picky about media. Even media that will work the first few times might not be up to par a year later (happened to me) the "problems" on the Wii will stem from the upgradable OS more than anything else.
not an option really. Many games, such as Super Paper Mario require later updates. There shouldn't be an issue with *most* updates, but statistics show that your margin of error increases along with the complexity of your system.
Our Wii is a P.O.S, ours loses the connection to the Wiimotes, the shop takes an age to connect, and it will randomly refuse to read Wii discs. I would say it was just ours if it wasn't for the fact my brother in law has exactly the same problems, and he bought his 3 months before us, from a different part of the country.
