This 'Wii hard drive' is hot, but so, so cold

Honestly, the most concerning thing about this story is that Nintendo Wii Fanboy's own J.C. Fletcher spotted the fake and knew it was a model of Japanese air conditioner. What are you doing with your time, man?

greggo @ Aug 14th 2008 8:19AM

@Farseer
Maybe, but it looks like they did the right thing anyway :)
Farseer (GDI) @ Aug 14th 2008 10:54AM

In its defense, it does look like a nice air conditioner.
Mike @ Aug 14th 2008 9:54AM
I want one.
Jack of No Trades 85 @ Aug 14th 2008 8:35AM
I need that for my 82' GMC Duravan. It gets very hot in the summer time while driving that metal coffin.
Wiinterfang @ Aug 14th 2008 9:06AM
LOL that's incredible.

One of the funnier ancillary characters that Aqua Teen ever came up with
J.Goodwin @ Aug 14th 2008 9:38AM
That would be a pretty freaking huge hard drive.
More than a foot on one side? Thing's bigger than an Xbox.
t_m @ Aug 14th 2008 12:22PM
plus it says Air Conditioner above it.
I'm guessing thats the pic from amazon, not the original fake? right?
Tom18230 @ Aug 14th 2008 11:49AM
Nearly 1/2 meter tall HDD... that ain't logical.
Tamyu @ Aug 14th 2008 11:56AM
Maybe because it SAYS on the picture that it`s an air cooler? Might not be an actual air conditioner - some of these are glorified fans that cool air slightly by blowing it over water.

Bowels of the Internet indeed.
The Doctor @ Aug 14th 2008 2:49PM
Don't worry, with Rock Band 2 wii having DLC, a harddrive is on its way eventually.
deCaff @ Aug 14th 2008 4:11PM
WOW they are selling air conditioner for WiiHDs and people are buying them.
WTF ARE YOU DOING NINTENDO? CANT YOU SMELL THE MONEY? GO MAKE HD FOR WII NOW!
I think the guys at Nintendo have so much money that they just dont care anymore.
