Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I finally got a new laptop with a lone USB 3.0 port. I'm now looking at getting a USB 3.0 hub with a power adapter so I can use both of my USB 3.0 hard drives at faster speeds. I've read lots of horror stories where some hubs either don't come with power adapters -- and as a consequence the portable drives don't work with them properly -- or they are designed poorly which results in USB 2.0 speeds. Or, the hard drives keep getting disconnected. Do your readers have any suggestions or experience using USB 3.0 hubs? Thanks!"
Thhe Wii is doomed because of a mod chip? Are you people that believe this retarded?
EVERY console to date (except PS3, for now) can be modded. PS2 was modded, did it fail? XBox? The DS isn't even modded, you just buy a Passcard to play games. No soldering, and no opening the DS. Is the DS failing?
Far from it.
So, the Wii gets a mod chip. EVERY console will have some way to play your "backups." If the Wii is doomed, then so is EVERY console past and present. See the logic? That's right, the Wii isn't doomed.
Seriously though, how many of the people that owns a Wii will risk screwing up there console (which can't be found ANYWHERE) to play a few "backups"? How many people do you know that can solder? Even better, how many people do you know can even OPEN the Wii console?
Maybe since I don't have a ton of geeky friends, but I don't know of anyone that could mod their Wii. Now if a cool Homebrew scene starts backing the Wii, then I probably will mod mine, but that's only if some cool Homebrew comes out. $50 for a game is not that much money.
