So..I mailed in my Wii one time, no problem..right? I got it back in a little under a month. great..perfect..awesome..now I can continue to stare at it for lack of games.
I turned it on here and there to make sure the little white box was still working..and it was.
or so I thought.
I went to play some Rogue Squadron, cause I recently found it, and/or SSBM for the simple fact I need to brush up before Tuesday hits when BAM!!!
"An Error has occured, we can't read any of your discs and you must once again mail in your stupidass wii to nintendo and wait another month for a broken wii"
I don't get it..I have NEVER had troubles with a nintendo product until now. maybe it doesn't work for the simple fact I never play it and some dust monster comes in and destroys the lens..I dunno. All whopping 3 games that were worth buying I've already beat..
I've been having pleasant dreams about brawl and now I can't even play the damn thing for a month unless I decide to either
a) rent a wii
or
b) steal my parents' wii and hope they don't notice.
in the meantime, Dtoiders..what do you suggest I do to preoccupy myself while I wait to play brawl for another month?
Wow, this is the first I've heard of Wii's going wrong . . . do you give it enough room to stay cool . . . do you move it from its side to laying flat while its running?
Anyway, sorry to hear that.
Search for N on your computer and go play it, if you haven't already. Great time to get into free indie games, I say.
nope, its always upright, it has plenty of breathing room..maybe i'll check out that game too..i got a 360 and i'm playing through firered again on gba (ds actually) but thats not enough to suffice :(
it only happens when i don't play it for awhile..i dunno. i bought a lens cleaner cause it said it was unable to read the disc but i bought one thats not for use on video game consoles..the wii works fine..it just doesn't read discs.
Wow..that's no good. I have never had any problems with a Nintendo product. Are you doing it wrong? And trust me, there is more than 3 games worth playing on the Wii.

Please tell me that was the actual error message that you got. It would make my day. O and that really sucks. You have my sympathies
Wow, that's horrible... I've barely heard of any Wii problems...
Let Nintendo know you've already had problems, and maybe they'll be more careful with the replacement.
...your parents wii?
My Wii has never had a error...whats are you doing with yours?

Ummm, play DS?
