From the NCS
«©NCS» In our cluttered game console area, we have a few Wii machines and a half dozen PS3 consoles for testing. Due to the higher volume of new Wii software that arrives every week for our gaming pleasure, the Wiis are generally in disarray and may be found positioned horizontally, vertically, and sometimes diagonally.
When we went looking for stands for our Wii consoles to keep them kempt, the local chain store only had one with a motorized fan on the bottom and blue LED lights that lined the sides. We then went looking in Hong Kong and found a myriad of stands. Since we had done business with Dragon in the past, we decided on a simple, tasteful, and most importantly, cheap vertical stand that fit our needs. Dragon's Wii Stand is reminiscent of Sony's PS2 console stands from a few years ago and it'll keep a Wii upright and stable while in storage or whilst playing a game. Pricing is set at US$7.50.

Multi Storage Vertical Stand

From the Manufacturer (Verbatim)

* Smart and new design
* Steady vertical stand function
* Built-in 2 place of sensor bar stand
* Fully compatible with different version of console system
* Storage 2 pieces of game discs and 6 pieces of SD memory cards

From the NCS
«©NCS» We made a mistake when we imported this "Multi Storage Vertical Stand" from Dragon. When the words, "Multi Storage" were read in the product description, we assumed that meant the Wiimote, the Nunchuk, and the sensor bar would be stored neatly with the Wii console. Lesson of the Day: Never assume anything. The "Multi Storage" that you're getting with this stand is for 2 games and some SD memory cards. Things that are already securely stored elsewhere in thousand-weight capacity and free from the ravages of dust, peanut butter, and debris. Dragon. Dropped. Ball.
