Hardware Wii *chip retailers, prices and reviews

[lenselijer]

I received my wiinja modchip from futura-online.com today with UPS.

It came in the nice red wiinja box and i already installed it, works perfect.

100% recommended!

Are there no resselers in the UK? I know Wiinja.com has cheapmod.com as a UK seller but cheapmod have removed any information they had about the Wiinja. Probably because the site has somehting to do with max console who we all know are biased toward the Cyclowiz.

Dunno if this has been posted already...ah well...

A nice video of the Wiinja installation tutorial has been put on Youtube (although it's in spanish it's quite interesting)

Anyone see any pre-orders for Wiikey?

 

[IxthusTiger]

Has anyone tried to cancel their order of Cyclowiz?

There will be no need for me to do this if the CycloWiz plays both U and J games.

there are several german shops which offer the cyclowiz for under 40 euro
and i think they all can deliver to the Netherlands.
even with shipping this should be cheaper than that shop

Yer €50 is a Wiinja is really expensive. the €60 for the cyclowiz...
May as well just spend $55 and get free shipping

cyclo have also made a NDS/GBA cart?

I cancelled my CycloWiz from modchipman... first because I forgot to apply the 7 dollars off coupon, but after hanging around this board I decided I'd just cancel it all the way, and apply that coupon to a Wiinja.

Nintendo really made this just a little too easy, don't you think? And it's crazy how everyone crawled out of the woodwork to make advancements on modifying the Wii all at once.

I guess their hype marketing campaign worked against them. But then again they've got the "Blue Ocean" of all those folks who actually have the cash to play games, or just straight up aren't interested in ever opening their precious console.

Tried to buy Wiinja from ChipSpain..... I made the payement with paypal but my order wasn't registered....
After, they send me a refund Wihout asking me If I wanted it (in fact I didn't want their refund but the chip).
After Two days my money were in my credit card......

DO NOT BUY FROM CHIPSPAIN THE WIINJA....

PS: Dear e-bay...finally I bouth the chip

I've just ordered 5 Wiinjas from www.futura-online.com . I got instant live help via MSN and up to this point a 1st class service. I'll repost when they appear and ive fitted one.

Are there no resselers in the UK? I know Wiinja.com has cheapmod.com as a UK seller but cheapmod have removed any information they had about the Wiinja. Probably because the site has somehting to do with max console who we all know are biased toward the Cyclowiz.

cheapmod.com has now added the Wiinja to their website with a price of £29.95 (inc VAT) + Delivery. They estimate having stock on 07/02/2007.

They are also selling the TriWing Screwdriver for £4.95 (inc VAT).

I have used cheapmod.com before when I bought my SC Lite and I found them very good to deal with. They answered all my questions quickly and my items arrived the next day.

However I must say that I am more tempted to buy from Futura-Online, as they selling the Wiinja chip with the TriWing Screwdriver for €39.95 plus €9.00 for delivery (total of €48.95, about £33.75), mainly because they seem to be shipping faster than anyone else.

Well i was told by Futura that they have stock of the Wiinja but they have no screw drivers untill wednesday but i was willing to do without the screwdriver so they said my chips will be sent out first thing monday by UPS 48-72hr delivery. Like i said i bought 5 and with shipping included it has worked out at £29.40 per chip.

@Phunt: Well, that would explain why they state that they have no stock on their website.

Only thing is that I need the screwdriver, so guess I will have to wait until Wednesday to order mine.

I did a test run dismantleing of my Wii yesterday and i just used a modified clockmakers flathead screwdriver (i filed the corners off) and all went well. I actually bought a 33piece security bit set off ebay last week because it contained 4 tri wing bits but they were all too big

I already had a security bit set, but found the same problem as you - all too big. Did think about modding a small screw driver, but was worried about damaging the screws - will have another look at it, maybe build up the courage and go for it.

I have the soldering iron (15w), wire and solder etc.

And another cheap dealer:

http://www.hjconsoletuning.eu

located in the Netherlands, for a limited time only €35,- for a wiinja, and €70,- built-in. I have just ordered one and they are really fast in communication (as in immediately

)

They'll get another shipment this thursday/friday so when you're quick you can have it this weekend or monday!

Just hoping it's for real

 

[brpn]

any places in the us or canada have stock yet?
