Likely will. If anything, I'll just use it as a reference for the site.

It's a good deal, but I've had my Wii since launch. No need to make a change now.

I'd like to but used Wiis are so prolific here that they were selling them for $50.

That's exactly what I was thinking when I read the article. I'm more interested in this thing from a collector's standpoint, rather than actually wanting it to use as a main console, and I'm not too keen on spending $100 on it just for that.

These have been available in Belgium for ages. The price is good, but it sucks that all those features were removed. I also prefer the slot loading drive, it's sleaker.
There was also a Wii model available for some time that looked just like the original, but didn't have GCN backward compatability anymore. I bought my (original) Wii when I found out about that one.

Winii the Poo.
Could this thing be any less useless..well yeah if they removed the disc drive. No SD card no online. However it will still outsell Wii U when it releases

They really just forgot to mention that Wii U was next gen, that's why no one bought it.

Yea, that kinda bothers me. I see ads saying "Next Gen has finally arrived"...I'm like bitch, it did a year ago, you suckers are just late to the party. Just like they were with the motion control thing.

I thought Wii U was supposed to just be a Wii with tablet support and a tiny harddxrive?
