Wlip now on sale.

[GeekyGuy]

I'm sure most everyone knows about the Wlip, but for those who don't...it's a clip that attached to the Wii, allowing you to bypass any soldering to the Wii itself. Eight-pin PIC chips will clip onto the Wlip as well, so if you're using one of those types of chips there's no soldering whatsoever. Anyway, the clip has been "in the works," but has now finally gone on sale.

Here's the official site with reseller info: http://www.wlip.es/indexEnglish.html

Meh... It's sold out. As soon as more shops have it (and hopefully when it gets a little bit cheaper) I'll certainly buy one!

Sounds very interesting..

Fantastic, if I ever need to upgrade my Wiikey I'll do this and not bother with soldering.

 

[CockroachMan]

If a D2C solution comes out.. I'll certainly buy one!

Same here...

This one reseller thing isn't going so well, is it? I'm waiting for it to come in stock or for an American reseller to pick it up. I'll take whichever, I guess.

Actually, I think that's why production was delayed. I think they were working on a version of the clip that would work with D2C. They have a couple of versions of the clip. I could be wrong, but I think one of them does work with that version of Wii system.

The only clips out now are for the DMS, D2A & D2B to the best of my knowledge. The D2C is going to be farther down the road. On there web page for the Wlip, they told us they are working on one but have nothing at this time.

Seems wildly overpriced....$36USD for basically plastic and some tiny wires. Damned good idea though...need to get back in stock

However, you may be saving on soldering costs (if you can't do it, or can't find someone to do it for you)

EDITS: The music on the video is funky

WTF 24.95EUR
There making much and much profit
I think costs to make it are about 2Euro not more

People obviously buy it though, and i can see why. With no soldering and everything.. Abit fiddly though taking it all apart.
