What you're saying is like if you buy a car with a turbo and get an aftermarket programming to run more boost. Sure, that can indeed remove your warranty in case the turbo / engine should fail. but that doesn't give the dealership the right to blow your engine up next time you go in for some sort of service.I'm not talking about the right to sue, I'm talking about actually winning the case. As opposed to wasting your time and money. There is a reason why your warrentee is void when you open them up, its so that Nintendo is no longer liable for modifications of any kind.if nintendo fry our chips they can be sued for damage to private property regardless of a visual warning that not all people have seen when they update it seems.
There is zero truth to this.
yes, i think that everyone has any right to sue nintendo if they cause damage to thier console!

well i think the case is strong, nintendo are attempting to fry a modchip a piece of private property on your Wii, you can choose to do whatever you want with your wii when you buy it, there is no terms and conditions saying the hardware is still the property of ninetndo at all.
just like you can mod and alter your PC to upgrade the parts you can do what you wish to it.
Especially if they warn you first.
not all people got the warning message, read the topic properly, so those people if their wii fries after installing the new update they can sue most definitely for vandalism from nintendo.
For now it'd probably be safe to stay away from 3.0U/E/J until those of us with the update have had it for a while with no more problems.QUOTE said:OK, from what I've read, it's not safe to update as I can't update my chip afterwards. So what if I don't update? All I do is run BrickBlocker for all releases after today and that's it, right?
i presume so, i will be doing this from now on also, thank goodness for wii brick blocker

anyone have any online games and still have 2.2u and can verify it still works online? i don't have anything that goes online
i only have pokemon battle for online play and i don't go online that much at all (can't use my own dam pokemon thanks to the R4DS), i've just rembered that when you enter the wii shop channel it tells you before you progress you have to update to the latest firmware before you can view it, not that i use the wii shop channel anyway.
if someone wants to test gcos->wiikeyconfig, can you try changing some options and see if they actually take effect? I'm assuming the most noticable would be 3x vs 6x read
Exactamundo.To scare you (probable)
To add the option of not upgrading because the future updates will kill the machine if it's chipped, but the warning takes the responsibility of your broken Wii off Nintendo (paranoid)
What's everyone else think?
Man i haven't been using my wii ever since the 2.2U update and left my wii on red light (off) for the longest time and my wiikey is still in there! my latest game would be SPM! man im out of date..i read through all 7 pages
so its safe to update to 3.0 to get all thsoe kool features?
but reccomended to wait to see..but according to many its safe to play back ups..improts..online..etc but only damage done to the wiiket is the wiikey set up diskgoing to now go throuh gcos, which isnt that big of a deal..but
AM i missing anything??? im really far far far away on the wii now, and i plan to play it again, since its summer and my job is giving me time to have some vacation and sick days xD
any help would be appericated! ty
