On backups: It is legal in some countries, and illegal in others. I think US is still in gray area... it's acceptable, but there are laws or projects of laws, or obscure laws that could be interpreted as illegal.
Now, back to the vid. Maybe it's fake, maybe it's not. But I'm considering it fake 'till I see more info on this.
Questions arise: 1. If he did it, why not giving more info on how? 2. This is a dream to lots of Nintendo console owners (an easy hack to use backup discs). Jackasses with fake videos are to be expected. 3. Video is shaky, blurry, and doesn't prove anything. Could easily be edited. 4. Adding a "release date" as hype is even more suspicious. 5. WII has just been released. It's supposed to have some copy protection on it. I know people can hack stuff pretty fast depending on how the protection was made. But GameCube for one proved that hacking Nintendo stuff is not a ride on the park. Anyways, let's just hope this is not some fake shit. But don't go crazy just yet.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
