    The Wii is basically two Gamecubes duct taped together.
    Following that logic next year's consoles will be two Wiis combined?

    Yanno, emulators are okay once a system has been abandoned...but the Wii is still selling in retail. Emulating retail systems is piracy. Only very rare DVD drives can even read Wii games, so you're all but required to download from warez sites.

    Yeah, because someone who hacks their Wii to load games from a hard drive is going to load it only with games they actually own. Right. uh-huh. You might, but that would make you the exception.

    I consider it legitimate to download a game that you own. I even consider it legitimate to download the game you own *for a different region*, as I think region-shifting should be as legitimate as format-shifting. But emulating a retail system? That's piracy, whether you own the game or not.
