Think it can ruin it also. Don't know, I don't have a Wii.

Piping will ruin a Gamecube? Since when? Loading is normal on any game. PSO does it almost constantly when online.

The consistent loading between the area and Pioneer 2 wears the laser out really quickly, especially since it is a process done 5-10 seconds for each pipe. A character spawning in the lobby doesn't load as much as an entire area/Pioneer 2 would. Getting an error screen during online gameplay would suck though.

Splash is correct about the laser wearing out. It is a common thing for PSO players, trust me. I've had one replaced becuase of piping and my current one is kept alive from rubbing alcohol cleaning the laser, LOL.

As far as the Wii goes, I can't really say myself. I would assume it could withstand a lot more wear and tear since it is Nintendo's lastest console. It should be built like a beast compared to the Gamecube.

It can ruin the wii too, but the rate is a lot longer, almost triple the time gc wears out.
