I used to do that as for my ps2 and xbox, I mean buying, backing up, then returning the game.  At one point I realized that everytime you return that item they asked for your name, address, and info.  So I stopped.  I assume they keep on record how much you have bought and returned, and I think maybe if you do that too much they'll investigate on why you have been buying and returning then poof they accuse you of piracy maybe.

Yeah I knew some guys that were doing this somewhere to get CD keys from computer games, but there were several of them so they just rotated among them.  It's a pretty dumb thing to do though!  What if it turns out you can't return it, you just spent tons of money on what might not have been that good of a game anyway.  I swear there was a sitcom years ago where this happened, someone wanted all these nice clothes they couldn't afford so they would just buy them, wear them once, and then return them.  Then at some point they weren't allowed to return them and WHOOPS GOT ALL THESE PRICY CLOTHES I CAN'T PAY FOR!

The moral of this post is does anyone else remember what show this was because it's bothering me now :(

Not a fan of such methods myself, but I've been a around the Wii block a few times (closing in on 50 :P) so I'll suggest a few I suppose:

No More Heroes
MadWorld
Tenchu: Shadow Assassins
Mario Kart Wii
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
Excitebots Trick Racing (don't let the name fool you, the game is damn fun both offline and on)
Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Zack and Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
House of the Dead: Overkill
Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles
Batallion Wars 2
Boom Blox Bash Party
WiiSports Resort (unfortunately, you'll have to shell out $20 for a Wii Motion Plus, tis worth it though)

I think that will do for now...

really? the battle system's pretty fun and the story is okay but the job system is a huge pain in the ass especially in the later levels where you have almost no direction just a goal.

yeah it's not for everyone, but it's incredibly unique and its a shame it got so little attention.

Just thought I'd add that I'm already downloading Wii games in addition to cycling them through EB. I'm just trying to save on bandwidth. ^^

you need one of the few dvd drives that is actually capable of reading wii disks. fyi, and they aren't easy to find. can't even find em on newegg. wii disks are written in reverse direction, so most drives wont read them properly

I'm pretty sure he's using the wii to rip them to the HDD
If an image says a thousand words, and a video shows 24 images each second, then why couldn't they condense everything I needed to learn at school into one hour long video :V

Can homebrew brick your Wii? I was thinking of adding it to my Wii, as well, but I didnt' buy it, so I'm a bit nervous (it's my sisters).
How about no!? You are an idiotic version of a baboon.

In theory yes if you do something silly like reboot the Wii while you're patching something important. I can't say I remember hearing about any malicious programs for the Wii that you have to be cautious of. In anycase thats why its recommended to patch the booting firmware with an auto-recovery tool, such as BootMii, Preloader (your Wii must be at menu version 3.2x) and AnyRegion Changer can patch one in that I forget the name of should you use it to downgrade your menu to 3.2. But yeah, generally hacking your Wii is safe.

If you ever played Odin Sphere on PS2, Muramasa: The Demon Blade would be good for you.  And, hell, even if you haven't, it's pretty entertaining.
