If it were us, we'd probably think of a much better way to disassemble this thing. Probably with a rock or by dropping it down a large flight of stairs. Sure, it's not the most practical way to see how many hamsters are running around on metal wheels inside the thing, powering its massive processor and other technical whatnot, but it would probably be the most satisfying. Then, we could sit our Wii next to its guts and take a picture, eventually photoshopping in a funny one-liner or something. Oh well ...

That is funny. All that plastic for just innards that are one fourth the size of the Vii. LOL this is soo cheap.
And I love it when they laugh once they open it. :)

Wow! Once you take off it's cover...
it's got a tiny Vii-Vii!
(Rhymes with "wee-wee")

Wow, that is so funny that they waste that much space and plastic just to make it look like a Wii. Meanwhile, all the hardware (although that's a fairly generous use of the term) is taking up this tiny little area in the middle. That's just hilarious.

Well at least they give you a ton of room for some sweet case-modding...

The "hold on to your pants" reveal was awesome.

What I don't get is why the Vii as a whole is larger than the Wii, even though it clearly didn't need to be. Why not just make it the same size?

Why did they make the Vii bigger than the Wii when it doesn't need to be? Hmmm...Got it! The Vii is the platform of choice for drug smugglers! That's why it costs 170 usd. Confirmed. Engadget may have just ruined their cover though...

This is SOOOOOOOOOOOO funny - I cannot believe it! The revealing was one of the most satisfying moments - I laughed out loud so loud. The Vii is on a par with one of those TV-Game machines.
Would like to see inside one of the Vii controllers next.

I could understand what they were saying. It's true what they say:
"Laughter truly is the universal language."

Wow. So basically, the two "ports" have no purpose, they added a metal bar on the bottom to make it heavier (ROFL), there's three wires going out, but only two wire heads, and only two of the four wires inside are functional.
...wow...
