Wii Modchip announced: Wiinja

I don't know if it's real, and I don't plan on getting one, but word on the street is that a Wii modchip has been released. It's main purpose is to play copied games.. or 'backups' if you will.

If it opens the doors to homebrew (before Nintendo does officially) then i'm excited, but otherwise it's only good for the thieves or for people who want to make a backup copy of their game disc, and play off that (keeping the original disc safely stored away in it's case)
