gfx sux for the wii =.= and wiikey CAN go online.
People get a mod because the WII isn't region free. Some people want to play important games. -____-;;
I'm not buying two WIIS just to play some Japanese games. If anything go blame Nintendo, even the PS3 is region free.

The PS3 isn't region free, the games are. That could change at any time.

Well games or console, one or the other still works fine. It's be pretty lame if they change it. If they do that US needs to start importing more games. There's a ton of good Japanese games that never make it into English, esp. RPGs =[

The movie region is the same, but the game and DVD regions are different.

The wires aren't supplied with the Wiikey. I installed mine last Friday at work... lol. What I did was put an inch or 2 of duct tape (long enough for the Wiikey) on the metal part of the dvd-rom and solder the wires (try to get the thinnest wires) to the Wiikey and to the pads on the Wii. After soldering the wires, I placed the Wiikey on top of the duct tape and put some more duct tape around the top so it doesn't short-circuit the chip. I'm pretty sure there's an easier place to put the chip. Overall, it's pretty easy to install for a first timer like myself.

get some wires around 30AWG from the source or wherever. first thing to do is to tin ur wires. use flux paste and put a tiny amount on the wire to help solder flow ~ and put a tiny coat on the solder points on the pcb. the pcb don't need to be tinned coz those points already have solder on it ~ so melt a tiny bit of solder on the iron ~ tin the wire, apply heat to the wire and it should transfer the heat to the pcb assuming u used flux and the wire is tinned. the whole process shouldn't take more then 1 sec. if you leave the iron on the board too long you risk overheating and burning off the pads ~ as for where to put ur chip ~ best place is the metal plate on the dvd ~ and u really only need to strip off like .3cm on the wire... if u strip too much you risk the wire touching other wire or pads that it's not suppose to. personally i think best is to have ur wire lie flat on the pcb less bend on wire = less chance of it failing later

No. Game regions are similar to PS2 regions. There is NTSC-U/C, NTSC-J, PAL, etc.

When/If games start being region protected, you will no longer be able to play games from Japan. You'll only be able to play NTSC-U/C games on an NTSC-U/C system. The Blu-Ray region is completely irrelevant in games.
