Need a drive that can rip Wii disks in the UK

Hi I'm in the UK and would like to find a disk drive that can rip Wii disks. I've had a bit of a look on the forums but I couldn't find any of the compatible drives on the UK amazon. If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

The only time I've ever seen the drives, they cost $100, you can get a wii for less than that.

Truth be told you are better off just ripping from your wii.

Unfortunately my Mum threw the wii away because we got a Wii U. Wish she had asked me before she did it :/

I think you can use a wii u to dump wii games.

Yes, you can. Use Super Smash Bros Brawl with Smash Stack to install Homebrew Channel on Wii mode and run Clean Rip from it. The only downsize is that with Wii U you won't be able to dump GC games, only Wii games, while most Wii models (except family edition and Wii Mini I think) could dump both GC and Wii...

You would need to buy something like this:

to rip your discs without a Wii. That listing is from a US seller who posts worldwide.
