Default *** is the site SPAM/real?

Hi, I just wanted to know if the site, (XXremoved since it is a garbageXX) is a SPAM or not. It claims to be providing Wii games download that doesnt require a modchip whatsoever, it mentioned in its FAQ that its games has been pre-imaged and cracked, thus not requiring any modification. You just need to download and burn. Is this real?

Just wanted to know from the experts.

Thank you

PS: this is a real question, not a spam.

I've had a quick look on the site and find it hard to believe that it would work as some sort of modification is normally needed. Look at the PSP for example, you can download images of games, store them on the Memory Stick Duo and play them - but you need to crack the PSP first!

I don't see the point to be honest, the whole idea (to me anyway) of owning a console is to buy the games I want so I have fun playing them all the way through. If I could just download any game I want then I dont think I would ever bother completing any of them so wouldn't have as much fun.

Ok lets look at it this way.

1. Search the internet and look up Wii Mod Chips

You will find the number of mod chips being produced is increasing.

2. Type anything to do with Wii hacking into any search engine and read a few websites.

Back to #1 why would they still be creating modchips at this rate if there was an answer so simple?

#2 I have read alot and never ever heard of this website!

It sounds way to easy and I've never heard of this....no it's got me thinking lol Let's see if we can get to the bottom of this one!!!

sounds fair enough. so it is officially a scam then. haha. i know that it will reduce the motivation to complete the game, but it was still tempting imo but not anymore (since it is a scam).

thank you guys.

Yes I would say this is officially a scam and should be avoided at all costs.

Perhaps a moderator should remove the link from this thread so that they don't get any more hits from us and to ensure no one gets conned out of their hard earned money?

That's a really good way of looking at it (I like your thinking )
That site certainly does look like a poor scam, wouldn't trust it at all

i've spoken to some people today who've contacted some other people who looked at the site and said don't touch it with a barge pole.................(well, what they actually said was LOADS ruder than that apparently). Can this thread be marked with an official financial health warning please MODS?
