sdub dumb,flatmii is not a mod ,it's a concept to stream isos fromthe pc ,,a perfect companion device for any modchip ,you dont have idea about what flatmii is ,, and btw they never wouldnt give you price for your usual 20pcs

ummm, I know exactly what the flatmii is and how it works, modding through the ribbon cable is a great idea, but streaming from a PC is inconvenient, why does it matter how much I order?

edit: and I'm not expecting it to be cheap, probably the same price or a little more of the flat mii

Cool...... This looks promising...I was wondering when something like this would be released....

I also held off with the flatmii. As cool as it is, it's still locked to wii code at the time being. This thing is PERFECT solution. no stupid clip, It's using Lattice chip and install will be so quick with solid connection. Also a solution for the d2nothing and d3 chipsets...I think this thing may just be the new device to copy cat. If it works well, gentlemen we may be hanging up our iron...

I await pricing!

I dunno, i think i'd rather have a combination of this and FlatMii, i have an HTPC so i've got the pc right beside my wii already, running a usb cable to my wii is no problem at all. I use my laptop to control it (EEEPC for the couch) it's not like it'd be hard to pick up my eee and load a wii game...

You all realize that this thing will be limited to 3x drivespeed, right?

Why not have both?

Both flatmii and Drive key works by patching the data before/after it goes trough the dvd drive,Im sure with the coming weeks/months one team will make one that does both,so we can have the ultimate modchip if you want to play backups,simply insert a disc,and play,to load isos,power up the pc and stream some over...

Im sure we can have both its just a matter of time,untill a team reverse engineers both products and combines them,to make one killer mod.
