Custom Wii on eBay LIKE NEW, except not [update]

by Alisha Karabinus on Dec 6th 2007 3:00PM

Why lay down a fat stack of cash for a new Wii on eBay when you can get one that is like new ... if, by "like new," you mean "has been modded and messed with and some dude played Fergie songs and Naruto on it." At the moment, iliksprite's modded, region-free Wii is a whopping penny, but with a brightly-lit controller and five extra real games, not minigames, thrown in (read: probably copies of real games), we expect this one may garner some bids. After all, with Wiis in such high demand, we've seen even the ugliest of skinned systems roll out for upwards of $500, and this one isn't ugly. Just warranty-free and not particularly new.

[Update: As one of our commenters noticed, it seems this listing is gone from eBay. A shame, too -- we were hoping to snag something like this just in time for "chrostmas." It's our favorite time of year!]

Its got datf punk on it.....

GAAAHH!! Fergie!! It burns my ears! Oh great. Now I've got that one really gay Fergie song in my head where she's saying big girls don't cry and other stupid crap. Thanks. But yeah, it does look cool.

Read the listing: the 5 games are the games of Wii Sports.

"I will also throw in a 5 full wii games, please contact me for details.

Dont Be tricked by other auctions saying they include 5 or 14 games. All they are doing is counting each mini game on wii sports and wii play. I will be giving you 5 full games!!"

Reading FTW!

nice. you can buy it just in time for "...chrostmas".

Wait till you see my custom Wii on ebay this Sunday! Sweet Skin, SMG, Warranty still intact and no Fergie! I'll send you some pics WFB!

That last pic is clearly GameCube Linux's MCE Frontend...I run that on my GameCube using an SDML to play movies/music on it, so this Wii must have firmware 2.0 or older, considering it runs GameCube homebrew.
