The juvenile hissy-fit between the old cast of MST3K manifested in the dueling spinoffs (Rifftrax vs. Cinematic Titanic) is sad and unfortunate. I hope they both to well, but I would prefer a joint project. In a particular fantasy of mine I can imagine actual movie studios approaching such an effort to willingly add the humorous commentary as a selling point for the official DVD of a subpar film.

To callously enter into a side in said hissy-fit; it is somewhat difficult to not notice the creation of the Cinematic Titanic occurred only after Rifftrax proved that such a venue is a viable internet-based product.

This is what will convince me to buy a Wii. I prefer to own the hardware I purchase to do with it what I wish.

The potential for piracy is pretty much a red herring. It is my understanding people are pirating Wii, Xbox360, etc. games right now with little difficulty. Homebrew for these platforms is really a separate issue and if anything is likely to increase demand in them. It certainly provides me a greater inclination to buy one.
