Here are the games I'm planning to get (I already have Valkria)  
 

• Super Street Fighter 4 (It was announced really quickly)
• UFC 2009 (Yukes should stick with Dana's Boys)
• GT5 (Come on, I know it will not have the firebird until DLC time but hey - DAMAGE - and not the sucky kind and not "The Player should had died Burnout damage)
• BlazBlue (Whatever new version coming out)
• Star Ocean 4 International (PS3) (Ok, This is the Enterprise version of the franchise and some say it got worse after a certain point - but Im a completist) 
• DMC4 (duh)
• Blitz The League (liked the first game)
• NBA The Show (Sony has gotten better with the Baseball Game and the Basketball game is damn close)
• Uncharted 1 and 2 
• Heavenly Sword 
• Folklore (Wanted to buy it because of the Japanese advert way back when)
• Ratchet and Clank (And the PSP version)
• Midnight Club LA (Played the other versions)
• Yakuza 3 (Better than GTA4 ever was)
• GTA4 (when they have all of the DLC the 360 has)
• Soul Caliber 4
• Other games such as White Knight Chronicles 1, Tekken 6, God of War Three etc

• GTP (60 Frames, 800 cars and I hear you transfer data from there to GT5! What's not to like)
• MGS Peace Walker: When Naked Snake becomes the bad guy.
• Valkria 2 (when ever its ready)
• That Bancho game what ever its called
• Holy Badman (Dead Penguins are the new Cool Cats)
• Patapon (UK Version)
• Soul Caliber Broken Destiny (and sadly we cannot take Kratos to 4)
• Persona and Persona 3 (the first game back in 96 was done in the Dawson's Creek style - in someways it made it more authentic and in other-ways it fell flat)
• Other such games from Level 5, that will take years to translate...

System Menu 4.2 seems to be bricking non-HBCed Wiis. It doesn't matter whether you've ever installed the Homebrew Channel or hacked your Wii, people who have never even heard of HBC are having these issues.

The problem appears to lie with an incredibly shoddily programmed update to boot2 of the Wii. boot2 is basically the area that "starts up" the Wii. According to the people who have developed HBC, the code for Nintendo's updated boot2 is prone to making write errors, therefore making the possibility of bricking your Wii extremely high, whether or not you have ever hacked or modified your Wii.

The really simple version is that ECC is extra bits that can be used to get a good, error-free read even if some of the data is errored somehow.

All forms of storage—Flash, disk, whatever—have a certain tolerable amount of errors. Makes them cheaper since they don't have to junk so much in manufacturing. Using various strategies like bad block remapping and ECC, they then present a certain amount of reliable storage to the rest of the system.

As I understand it, the Nintendo update code wasn't doing ECC properly. So if your boot2 area had errors, the update was more likely to fail than with code that did write out the ECC bits properly. So, if there was some problem reading that area back, boot2 would come back corrupted.
