Unless the retail price is only about $5 this is just an overpriced piece of plastic.

And to answer the "Trigger" questions:

You'll have to hold this with two hands.  The place that has the normal trigger location will have access to the buttons of the nunchuck, you'll have to use your other hand to hit the B button on the remote itself, which is probably the button used to fire a weapon in most FPS games.

The beta unit from E3 is actually a modified nunchuck shell, and might be more useful than this because it would have the ability to transfer the B button to the normal trigger placement and still have the analog stick from the nunchuck.  I'll wait for something official.

Am I the only one thinking :em-32:

Please tell me I'm not.

Yeah, like SuperTongue said, basically this company is providing what you can think of as being drivers for the Wii so it can recognize other USB peripherals, including but not limited to external hard drives, as well as the file system management drivers and software to allow the Wii to read and write to hard drives and SD cards.  The SD card part implies to me that there might also be support for cards greater than 2GB in size supported in the future.  The entire thing implies to me that we can use our own external USB hard drives as well, and not just a proprietary hard drive provided by Nintendo or officially licensed 3rd parties.

Only Gamestop/EB Games have not been getting stock this month.  Toys R Us got stock two weeks ago and Circuit City did last Sunday.  EB Gamestop is expecting stock next week in my town - every employee I have talked to for the last month have all been saying "April".  They thought it was Nintendo preparing for a "second launch" but I think EB is just doing their own shit.

Besides, there's already been a statement from Nintendo officially stating that they're not holding back stock.

It wouldn't make any sense, they sell immediately, why wouldn't you be putting as many out there as possible?

This hasn't affected a single modchip.  It makes ONE of the chips on the market about 25% more difficult to install and didn't alter anything else at all.  The one modchip that it does actually affect is too new to the market for this change to have been in response to it.  The modchip scene found a harder obstacle back in February with a different chipset being used, but this isn't even that serious.

I don't know where the idea came from that this makes it MUCH more difficult to install modchips... hell, they only even really moved one point, the others are EXACTLY THE SAME!!!

I wish people would actually do some research...

Except that it's not:

This directly contradicts the assertion that Naka is working on the new NiGHTS game.

Hey dude, really?  My sister went to YSU back in the day (early 90's).  I used to life about 20 minutes away from Youngstown.

Anyway, I'm 25 and still in school.... what grade is that?  20th grade?  That's first year of docotral work for those of you who don't want to do the math. 

It looks fuckin' sweet to me.  I haven't played Wind Waker, but I'm not put off by the Cel Shading style, as that seems pretty "Zeldaish" to me anyway.  I will be playing Wind Waker when I get my Wii though, it's the first GC game that I'll play. 

They're not endless loops, it's usually 6 - 8 offers for XBox 360 these days.  But yeah, they're usually just for Americans.  The main company (Nuitech) is based in FL... although all the others you find are also US based businesses.

It's not a scam.  You have to read the rules carefully and do everything right but you can get stuff for relatively free (if you're willing to wait on refunds) from sites like this.  I got a Dyson vacuum cleaner for $27 after it was all said and done.  It can take a while too, anywhere from a month to 6 months depending on the site and on how well things go for you.

Check out the "Internet Scams" portion of www.scam.com to see all sorts of discussion related to sites like this.

A similar type of site to this is how I'm getting my Wii.  Should be here at the end of the month.

Oh yes they do make bad stuff occasionally!  Anyone remember the VirtualBoy?  That thing was a bigger flop than the Dreamcast.  At least the Dreamcast sold a ton of units at launch...

A bunch of people at various blog sites have confirmed that Targets at least are holding Wiis for their Sunday flier ad (guaranteeing stock).

The WiiSeeker also shows a bunch of stores having stock too.

I was gonna say...  I had my copy a few days back...

I forgot one.  I had a Coleco Vision back in the day.  I wonder if anyone reading this post was even alive yet then.  There was an adapter I had for it that let me play Atari 2600 games on it too!  I had quite the collection.

NES, Gameboy (original launch model!) SNES, NDSLite

Emulators for N64 and PS1, but that doesn't count.  :-)

With the exception of the DS I haven't owned a video game system since the mid-90s.

Do children have nothing better to do?  I couldn't even watch the first 15 seconds of either clip....

God I hope I was never like that.
