Buying it is not illegal, but what you do with it is It’s like downloading movies or music, LimeWire and Bit Torrent is legal, dosen’t mean that DVDrip that’s being downloaded using it is The hardware/software (in this case a modded Wii or Xbox) is legal to obtain and own, but the chip installed on it is going to skip the BCA scanning or other form of anti piracy scanning to keep pirated media from reading, so that gives you the possibility to pirate games, so it’s the media that’s illegal And it also matters what you plan to do with it, if you plan to make backup copies, then it’s illegal, if you plan to use it to import foreign games, there is some gray area there, but for the most part it’s legal But the fact that a console has been modded means there is no warranty and that an update could brick it
