I'm not sure, it was all in spanish... let me check...

"Unipost - Servicio Postal Internacional (Opción de envio económica para
productos pequeños (Máx. 350Gr).Entrega en 10-15 dias. Entrega en buzón. No
admite pago por Reembolso.): 10.00€"

that doesn't look good... 10-15 days?

can someone translate?

google translation:

“Unipost - Postal Service the International (economic Option of shipment for small products (Máx. 350Gr). Delivery in 10-15 day. Delivery in mailbox. It does not admit payment by Reimbursement.): 10.00€”

I choose ups shipping, it should be 2 days shipping they told me.

I didn't have UPS as an option it seems? maybe it was my lack of ability to navigate the website. oh well.

I went with the regular (as translated above) shipping.
The person I spoke to on MSN told me it would be a signed airmail delivery service which sounds different to that unipost.
They didn't give me a time frame though so I guess it may take a couple of weeks.

how long do u predict until a solderless solution will come out?Â

Probably never.

The solderless solutions for systems like Xbox take advantage of all the points being close-by and having plenty of room for a spring-like attachment. Besides being overpriced, solderless chips are very unreliable. Usually it only takes a little shaking and the points will shift, making the thing useless (till repositioned) and possibly dangerous to the system.

Stop being a baby, and start soldering. My first solder job was on my PS1 when I was 11, and it turned out fine. I'm sure a lot of the people here were the same

On-topic -

I'm waiting for the next batch of chips to ship. If they offer nothing very useful to me (such as region unlocking), I'm sure the extra Wiinja stock they have will be discounted.

i'll wait until a better modchip will be released...

i want to play EURO imported games (in spanish) and no swap in NGC games.

maybe solderless, maybe...

I'm just waiting for cheap clones at the very least. I don't see myself paying $60 for the Wiinja and I don't like quick solder chips either.

Yea, I think it's settled for me. I'm gonna wait it out until a cheap clone ($60 for a PIC with some hex!?) comes out which I am hoping is around a week or two then that should satisfy me for a year or so. When a top of the line modchip is determined, I'll desolder the cheap clone and switch the modchips out.
