Hate blue? Like red? Nope, I’m not talking about Halo, I’m talking about your slot. Your Wii disc drive slot, you dirty birds.
For $7.95, Talismoon’s Wii Gate kit allows you to change the notification light on your Wii disc drive, replacing the blue glow with either red or green LEDs and surely seconds or even minutes of fun. Oh, and apparently your warranty remains intact too, although breaking Wii’s hasn’t been a real issue.
Having your slot actually light up for once because you have a memo from a friend… well, that’s a different story.
Not long ago it was fashionable to replace the normal red/orange LED with blue ones in mobile phones and other gadgets.
And now it's back to blue to be IN?
What can I say? Welcome back Reddies!
Back to red of course,
oh my…
The Blue is perfect. I wouldn't dare mess around with the Wii to change it.
Maybe when i get a different color Wii… like black or blue. For now, glossy white+neon blue= awesome.
Blue all the way. Red and green look cheaper, for some reason.
One thing that would be cool is if the disc slot would light up at the Disc Channel or the Wii Menu so if you're in a very dark room there won't be any problems with loading and unloading games. 🙂
This whole Wii60 thing has gone too far. Having a game console with LEDs that turn to red when you power it up should be left to the 360. Zing!
Red and green look cheaper because they ARE cheaper… and thus more widely used in trashy low-end electronics.
I think a white LED would be most expensive, but for the case mod to be cool it would have to be a continuously variable tricolor (RGB) LED that changes color smoothly.
blue is perfect so why change it ..I hardly see it glow anyway…
It's a neat option to have, but if you haven't been wishing for this since you bought a Wii it seems like a waste of effort.
I dig the blue. But there really should be some customization on how often the thing lights up. Personally, I think that if you're playing a Wii Game, it should glow.
Still LOLing at the Xbox red light comment.
Wii's are gay…. red lights or blue. What has the world come too?
