I was wondering the other day about that... is it actually possible to do?



I bought the duct tape and I am buying another Wii, but I'll duct-tape them together with one on backwards so that I can have the 1st MiiWii®.

Also planning on building* the Wiiplaybox 363®


























*building means duct-taping it all together



You know what, if I had the money, I thing it would be fun to actually build a system that played all three games, and could use all three controllers (basically all three consoles in one enclosure with a few mods) That would be huge and expensive...kinda like the launch PS3s! lol, sorry, couldn't help myself!

Hey, being a member has it's perks, I can make fun of all the consoles and not look like a fanboy. See, I have made fun of the 360s RROD issue in a few threads as well. If you can't laugh, life is not worth living!

umm okay worst prediction ever? A lot of Wii owners are parents and old people, I doubt they will re-buy a console because its now 50 dollars cheaper. In fact if they lowered the price to $20 why would anyone re-buy it? It just makes no sense.

The OP is ninja, he was stealth making fun of the prediction. Without a major hardware upgrade, existing owners will not rebuy the console (save for those who's consoles wigged out)

I'm not buying a new Wii unless it comes in black. This is all that matters to me, and I speak for a large percentage of Wii owners.
