So a while ago I asked about the D2CKey and arctic_flame directed me to the Infectus forum. Apparently they are pretty much finished with their product and some websites are already selling these chips. But they are also going to sell the Infectus chip that is already installed with Wii software and they're calling it Argon. So that means D2CKey isn't the only D2C modchip anymore. Are any other D2C Wii owners interested in this? It has 13 wires, so that seems alot better for people who have never modded before. Plus it's updateable.
