I am very skeptical about Wii Hard Mods since a total stranger would be messing with my console. I have someone who is trying to charge me $120 for a D2pro9 Mod Chip (including labor for him to install)? Apparenty it clips on and no soldering is needed. He told me this does not void the warrenty (mine is good util Nov. 2009) Please correct this if it's wrong. Is he charging too much?

He also told me that Soft Mods will not allow you to play backups or burnt dvd's in your Wii. Also, he said that if I do not burn my own DVD's correctly, it will perminantly ruin my Wii if I were to slip a curropted disk in it (or a disk that wasn't burnt right). Is this true? I am not sure if it is or if he is just trying to scare me into buying his own burnt games.

Please let me know what is right and wrong and if you have any advice for me.
