    I can imagine it's not for GC / Wii then.
    Tried to put it into a PC yet?

    Is it silver - as in CDROM? Or is it goldish - as in DVD?

    Pop it into the PC. Might be CDi???

    Is that case the original case that CD came in or is just a standard case? If it is the original, does it have markings on it?

    Of course it is a test disc. A nutless monkey will point that out, but what does it actually do and what is it for is what he's trying to figure out...

    Maybe it's for testing GC / Wii Dev stations to check if they are working correctly?

    That would explain the lame logo / artwork.

    My suspicion is it's a test disc for Wii units before the firmware is loaded.

    they have shipped a few of those by accident.

    Lol I remember that. When the Wii came out, the box said it came with a system disc. Some came with it, some didn't. And that's because it was already done.

    I was bummed when both of my launch wii's didn't come with it.

    Wait, I dont quite follow. What do you mean? They accidentally shipped some of these Test Discs with retail Wii's? What did the Test Disc do exactly? Never heard of this...
