Quite honestly I find it easier to believe that someone provides free softmods rather than someone charging $5 for a softmod. Its fairly well known that instrinsic motivation (ie. that good feeling you get when softmodding someone's wii) is diminished when coupled with extrinsic motivators (ie. cash), this is known as the overjustification effect. I think that generally speaking $5 isn't enough extrinsic motivation to compensate for the loss of intrinsic motivation, so that's why I find it hard to believe people softmod other ppl's Wii's for $5 (I'm not saying it's impossible, just that its hard to swallow... lol, that's what she said). It's similar to when someone comes up to me on the street and asks to buy a cigarette from me, I won't accept their cash because it cheapens the small act of kindness I am performing and makes it seem like I am only doing them the favour for $0.50. Seriously, if you're going to charge someone to softmod their Wii, who in their right minds would do it for $5? Either do it for free (for that warm tingley feeling), or charge something more than the cost of half a pack of smokes. But either way, I think it should be communicated that they could do it for free if they want to put in the time themselves.
