Where is the current cheapest site for the Wiikey? Modchipstore is sold out of them at the moment, and EurAsia has them for $20 but the comment someone just made about them shipping late worries me.

If EurAsia is the cheapest at the moment then I'm going with them later tonight.

The best places to check are those listed on the www.d2ckey.com and www.d2pro.com websites under resellers section. I get my supply from canadamods.ca, and now I am their official installer + tech support

It's too bad all wii modchip retailers are so shady, makes it much more difficult to decide what to buy. Very little choice out there also. Is it so much to ask to have a reliable site out there that sells more than 2 different kinds of modchips and who ships very quickly?
The problem is there is very little choice in modchips, the sites that carry a large variety are usually with those stock for a long time. The other problem is supply from manf isn't exactly constant all the time, and lead time can take a while sometimes. On my personal site I only sell the popular items and use those for installs, unless the customer wants me to install something specific that I dont carry they supply it.

The wii is still a bit away from getting to the point of the old xbox, but we're getting there thanks to recent exploits. All chips will work the same in letting you play homebrews. With backups I am a fan of the d2pro, but there is another chip on the horizon I still need to try out. I just like the idea of jtag updates and on the fly patching. If you have one of the older chipsets d2a/dms/d2b you have a lot of choice, and even free open source solutions.

Any update on modchipcentral.com? i just placed an order..

i placed an order at modchipstore.. they never got in contact with me, never charged my card, never replied to my calls or tickets. I just have a limbo order number.. all in all the wiikey was only 17.95 from modchipcentral.. but still i would like to know i'm getting it.

you are not alone

their customer service leaves alot to be desired, they are slow answering but they *do* answer

other than that they are a decent chip reseller

i've noticed there's been a pretty large variance in the prices of D2CKeys among several sites as of late.

modchip.ca lists it at 39.99 CDN and canadamods.ca lists the same chip for 24.99, which is incredibly good.

i am ordering from modchip.ca because they do COD but only if they'll do a price match. otherwise, I'm going to use a credit card and go the other way.

Hi, i'm new here, and am hoping someone could PLEASE help me out.
Last week was my birthday,and my girlfriend said she'd order me a modchip for my Wii,and i have a friend who will install it.
I have a launch Wii, and it seems i would need a Wiinja.
Problem is that i can't seem to find a good place to order one from.

I'm in the U.S.,btw.
I've read thru this thread off and on over the last week, and most stores don't seem to carry the Wiinja Deluxe.
Plus alot of sites seem kinda suspect.

PLEASE can someone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks

This is great guys! There are actual free offers that you can complete to earn stuff. Each point it equal to one dollar so signing up and completing offers is really worthwhile. PM me if you have any other questions!

So...so far, is it unanimous that the D2pro the best one out there right now? I don't know anything about price wise but the best one with compatibility and all region aswell as homebrews? I have been doing some research but I can't really decide which one to get. Please reply if you have been a satisfied customer of a certain type of modchip. Thanks!

I am drooling a bit over the Infectus 2, but I think it might be serious overkill. Any thoughts?
I don't even know if it is possible to use it as a normal modchip at present. The isn't very much good information about it. At least I haven't found any.

Just a quick kudos to OzModChips for great service! Ordered an Argon/Wii-Clip on 5/2 and it would have arrived on 5/10 to SoCal if the USPS had decided to deliver it, but I had to go pick it up on 5/12. Happy with my purchase.

My next question is whether anyone has had any dealings with ausxmods? I'm looking to purchase a few Key-Clips and they have the cheapest I can find. I'd order from OzMod again, but they don't carry it. Any input appreciated. Thanks!
