Does anyone know any details about this site? I think it has to be illegal considering the price. There has to be some kind of trick?

Why is everyone quick to dismiss it as just a fraud? It may be, but it also may be like one of the many legitiamte sites out there that allow you to download movies, songs and games after you pay a fee (which i'm a member of). Like i said it may very well be dodgy, but it might not be either. In saying that don't sign up lol.

What do you mean jac? So you want to share the payment with some people on this site? It says on the site no refunds so I don't think it's real anyway. If anyone actually joins and says it's real I might even give it a go.

Nah not refund from wiidownloader. paypal protects against fraud, a bit like the ebay protection. If they allow a transaction to go through and it turns out dodgy they refund all or a % of your lost money. Thats how these sites make the most money, they rip you off, you get refund of paypal or ebay and then ebay and paypal who has insurance for this kind of thing writes it off. the way of the world.

Ok i did some looking around. The site is registered to Domains by proxy. Anyone who knows about proxies knows that that means this site is very dodgy. You dont hide yourself unless you have something to hide. so now its 100% answered. phhhhew! glad no one spent anymoney here. I hope.

Whoa slow down kiddies...

Okay where to start..

Ethical issues:
- Download as many Wii titles as you like for USD $24

Company issues:
- site : www.wiidownloader.com/ is registered via proxy, no legit company would do this (see www.domainsbyproxy.com/

Technical issues:
- I haven't even tried, but I assume there may be some issues even burning these ISO's

Site issues:
- The site has numerous errors including typographical and link errors

Look its just either one of the following
a) straight out piracy
b) straight out ripping you off

It Won't work, its illegal, save your money for a new Wii title or VC game instead.

just my thoughts
peace all

that is 100% illegal.
ignore the bs on the site, you can not legally make a copy of any game nor can you resell an image of it.
Funny thing is they would have to give you homebrew apps that are around...oh no, shame the Wii update disables them from loading...unlucky!
Do yourself a huge favour and stay away.
There was another site like this, it got pulled down in a couple weeks and the guy was fined like 500k and a few years jail.

Edit: After going through the site maybe once you sign up they give you directions to your local blockbuster or something lol

How can you NOT see that as a scam?

The contactus page doesn't even work.

I have serious doubts that some people on this site wont make it in real life, when they grow up.

On an extra note, you can goto the Members section and enter "admin" as a name and click "Forgot Password" to send their admins a little bit of spam. *chuckle*
