Nah, but I thought it was cool how this guy modded his Wii to glow with a red light instead of blue.

If only someone could mod mine to be pink…errr….I mean…green…yes..green that’s the color I want.

Hmm for some reason the video won’t show.  Here just click on this link!

Okay so it’s another hack method…but I’m sure the readers of our site are smart enough to make this work for them if they really wanted that extra storage space.  Apparently someone has figured out a way to let you attach an external hard disk drive to your Wii.

“The incredibly savvy Matrix team has exclusively lifted the lid on their upcoming product - the WiiZii! The Matrix WiiZii is a completely solderless plug and play modification which works on ALL Wii versions. Once installed, the WiiZii allows you to do all the things you’d expect from a Wii modification device but brings with it one incredibly special feature - the ability to connect an external HARD DISK DRIVE drive (via SATA) and enjoy super quick loading of ISO and homebrew files on the Wii. But thats not all, this intelligent pice of kit also comes with 2MBit of memory and its firmware can easily be updated in the future. Some might say this is all just to Easy, we mean WiiZii! Click the image below to see a WiiZii prototype installed into the Wii. More details will follow next week!”

One can imagine it would be similar to the streaming service that NetFlix currently provides to its customers.  There is currently a way to hack your Wii into playing DVD movies (although I’m not certain if the latest 3.4 update has put an end to this).  If you want to take the chance that it will work, the step by step directions are here.
