That's right, the modding community has come up with a fix that places the Wavebird receiver into the Nintendo Wii, causing the unsightly giant gray brick that currently resides at the top of your system to be nestled inside, snug and warm within the beautiful confines of your Wii. The modder says that he only placed one receiver in his, but if more plastic were removed, he could probably fit 4. The mod takes about 14 different steps, of varying difficulty, but of course the first step is the hardest: taking apart the Wii. We assume if one is able to do this, their moral compass must be broken.
The mod begs the question: is such a mod worth the chance of messing up your Wii permanently? Are you willing to try the mod, but will wait for a more steady supply of consoles in case you damage your system? Think people that do this kind of stuff are crazy?
It's a nice idea, however we wish he would have provided pictures of the console put back together and a video of it in action.

It's not even that bad! Sure it's unsightly, but not more than the GBA cart sticking out of my Lite. When someone fixes THAT, let me know.

I personally LOVE cookies. I had so many once, that when I was playing the wii, I vomitted IN in the wii. I have to take apart my wii anyways to clean out the dried puked, but while I'm in there, I'm gonna see if I can sneak an oreo or fudge-ee-o in there. mmmm cookies

OMG!! I love cookies too! I had a similar experience like that, except it wasn't cookies...it was a fried tomato garlic and cheese cake. Pretty much the same thing...dried puke, broken Wii, lawsuits. I should really go cut my toenails...they're soo long :( Mmmmm cake!

^^That would rock if someone came out with that! Otherwise, no its not worth it b/c knowing that my wii was damaged b/c I didnt like the way my wavebird receiver stuck out would be disheartening :-(
