Less need to do it for the 360, with the removable faceplates. Less call to do it for the PS3, with the lower sales numbers. Oh yeah, and the higher price tag makes voiding the warranty less appealing.

Why do we keep seeing a whole bunce of Wii mods, and not as much for the 360 or PS3?

I don't really care for the design, but at least this one shows some actual talent, unlike the Zelda "buy pre-made attachments from the Nintendo store" mods of both the Wii and DS.

Yeah i can't see my self using that for Table tennis or manhunt2 it looks nice though but i would like to see that on a PS3 or even a 360. But the lights where a nice touch it's almost like your giving greenpeace the middle finger with all the external lights. HAHA!!!!!

@shiwasu: Because the 360 and PS3 have those crazy curves and bezels to try to make them look slightly smaller than a very shiny glazed anvil. I imagine getting things to lie even on a flat surface is easier.

If it didn't have that huge rockstar logo on it I'd love it the color scheme is great.

@DaiMacculate:

I agree 110%.

I mean, c'mon!
Here I am in Florida, where I have never even seen a Wii in stock, no matter what store I go to.

And this guy has a seemingly endless supply not only to play, but to modify.

That case sure looks classy though!

DaiMacculate — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 08:08:32 MST

What I want to know is where/how he keeps getting more Wiis? Maybe he has a crack team that hunts them down for him, it seems to be a challenge for most people.

God damn, that is awesome. I didn't realize it was the actual Wii until I read the comments; I kept saying to myself "Show me the picture Kotaku! ><" and it was right in front of me!

Very impressive.

The Amazing Exploding-Man — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 03:15:07 MST

What a wonderful reminder of how the only real game they have released for the Wii was censored and sucked anyway. I'm just saying, with that color scheme I would rather have a Pittsburgh Steelers logo there, seeing as how I am a fan and Rockstar has barely anything to do with the Wii as it is.

Pessimism aside, it does look nice.

Wow! That is spectacular. It looks like a sign. I so want this. Unfortunately there are no good R* games for the Wii...Manhunt doesn't count.

Sumthin' to play Table Tennis and Manhunt on. Not many developers have such a cool logo that inspires such cool shit.

IronsUK — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 02:11:25 MST

I'm sure Nintendo would love to snap up this design to make a special edition Wii. Then again, maybe not as Greenpeace would bust their chops over excessive power consumption from all those external lights.

Wiis are probably easier and cheaper to work with. Also the Wii has a nice flat side that can be used to display stuff.

There seems to be a new modded Wii featured every week. Why aren't there 360/PS3 mods posted? Last ones I can remember are the 360 faceplates, and that weird face you could put on your PS3.

Good job, Ramon.

Rotek — Thu, 13 Dec 2007 01:39:10 MST

Is this subliminally trying to tell us that GTA IV is coming to Wii? Because, as much I love the Wii, that ain't happening.

Awesome stuff though. I'd never have the time or knowledge to do something like that!
