Okay, so, I finally got some free time away from other things to add a post here. This weekend I signed up to eBay again. I did have an account at some point, but it was so long ago now I don’t even think the E-Mail registered to that account exists anymore. I never really used eBay before, reason purely being 9/10 you can get the exact same product, brand new, with warrenty, less than it costs on eBay including postage, but it does have it’s uses which I’ll get to in a second. I was there looking for a cheap specific sagem/netgear blend router locked into the Sky ISP, my old adsl modem isn’t compatible with Windows 7 (which I’m using), and I didn’t feel like buying a £60 router, nor re-signing up to my ISP for 2 years to get one free. So I found one and started bidding, fully boxed, with all the cables, £15.50 including postage, cheaper than the cheapest of routers. It got sent out yesterday (Monday was Bank Holiday). I should say my ISP isn’t actually Sky, I just have their firmware fully hacked already, so it’s quick for me to unlock it to use on my own ISP, I could’ve bought one unlocked but no box (very used), and £5 more, still cheaper than a brand new Netgear. The really cool thing though, while I was browsing eBay, under the video games section is this – wii Sports Original Hard Case. (Nintendo, if you ever read this, include a god damn DVD Case next time, it costs you like, 20p or so to make? There was even space for it in the wii Box!) The price at eBay is crazy cheap at £3.50 including postage but I’ll get to that. It arrived today, sent out yesterday, I should say too my Postie’s a great guy, hold’s stuff for you so you don’t have to go to the sorting office, will call out to you too and give you the mail if you missed him and he spots you in another road – Postie’s as Postie’s should be. On to the pics…

Just to be clear, the reason the 3rd one doesn’t match below, is because the 3rd one is wii Fit.

There’s ton’s of these on eBay, various prices, I went for this one because of the original case – and I definitely made the right choice. The others say “similar to the cases used by Nintendo”, this is the ACTUAL case used by Nintendo. Click the pics to get a bigger version, checkout the wii logo above the disk on the inside of the case. You’ve heard me say quality costs before. trust me on this, pay a little more, get a better product, be happier with it. Now you could make these yourself, there’s tons of images for you to print here on Google, but then you’d need to get an original wii case, good ink, heavy photo glossy paper, and crop it to the correct size before printing to match the quality of the one I bought, it’s a hassle I didn’t need. Look how crappy the cardboard one is when compared to your other bought games. Ok, it’s “just” a case, and it probably didn’t need a whole blog post, but the game it’s protecting is the reason we all bought the wii, be honest! Give it the best, and have it match in with the other games in your wii collection. Go buy one. Simples.
