i say within a year the Wii will get hacked to allow you to replace the dvd drive with a hard drive :D

What sort of technological oddity is this?

 

I've never known a HDD to allow the insertion of a physical optical medium before.  Can you tell me how this works?

 

The only reasoning behind something like that I could think of is not actually physically swapping drives... but perhaps to use a HDD to store the games on so you don't have to physically insert them... Kind of like Wii demo pods.

Either that or MatAAron doesn't understand what he is talking about.
