Nintendo Wii Homebrew Contest 2007
Croakyvoice writes "DCEmu is hosting the worlds first Nintendo
Wii and Nintendo Gamecube Homebrew Coding Contest with prizes of $500 on offer
for Homebrew and Emulators for the Wii and Gamecube, The hope is that through
this contest an exploit will be released that will allow full homebrew on the
Nintendo Wii without a Modchip. Gamecube
Homebrew is already on the Wii with a host of systems emulated such as Snes,
Genesis, Gameboy and Neogeo."
I'm guessing the grandparent was talking about Chadstone Shopping Center since that has Target, K-Mart, Myer, Toys'r'us, EB Games and JB Hi-Fi all selling the Wii in the same building. The biggest price difference I've seen there is about AU$20 though so I can't imagine the average punter bothering to shop around much.
There have been Wiis in stock whenever I've been to Chadstone in the last few months but don't know how many exactly.
