Should I still keep this thing.

Post by Kevman »

Surpisingly, I actually still have the Metroid Preview channel on my Wii from when MP3: corruption was about to come out. I had this crazy idea that in the future when Wii is considered retro I could sell it on ebay on a SD memory card and get some major cash because everyone has already deleted it and Nintendo doesn't offer it anymore.

Of course there's really nothing that you can do with it, all it says is "Preview is expired, please delete this off your Wii" when you turn it on. I'm sure some Nintendo fanatic in the future will want this, right?

I don't see why to keep it; if it were a physical demo disk it'd definitely be worth keeping, but not so much when it's just some data. Plus, isn't it like locked to the Wii? In other words, won't it not work on any other Wii? I don't see a reason to delete it but no reason to keep it either.

Put it on an SD card, transfer to your PC, upload it to a torrent, and let it fly. ;) Someone will hack it for the future fanatics to have and enjoy~

You may be right, It never surprises me anymore what people will buy.

I still have mine on my Wii. They are locked to your wii though. So as far as resale value there is none. You can't sell it. I think you should just upload it to a tracker. If you don't I probably will when I get round to fixing my memory card reader.

I dunno, seeing as it was given away with all the DSs sold on and a little bit after launch. I think there's quite a few out there. I'd keep hold of it for now though, you never know.
