Rhed King ~Xiloscent~ Waynebrizzle My money's on however they're manufacturing Brawl. Dust sounds like an excuse. you should see the dust in my room. it actually disgusts me. but yeah even though i could fill a bicket with al the dust in my room, my Wii is fine. and i do everything on that list. trust me man, It's only a matter of when. Nintendo says that about 90% of wii systems have this problem (they also say there's no way to fix this disc problem, I don't believe that though). regardless the dust thing is the biggie, cause the back of your wii is like a Kirby. It inhales all of the time. Normally this isn't a problem, cause it siphons air through the wii to cool it. Howevers, if dust gets inside yo' Kirby, he stars having some allergic problems and can't suck in air as well. This means he needs to work extra hard to keep his house cool if he still wants to do donuts in his bumper car. (you can also give Zyrtec to your mini wii kirby to help him out) (translation: dust clogs the very weak vents on the wii, this makes it harder for the disc reader to read the spinning disc, this makes your wii work harder, puts more stress on the disc, creating a spherical scratch on the outside rim of your disc [you can check that with an LED pocket light] overtime that scratch hurts the wii itself) This damages the disc reader quite permanently so the only way to fix that is to have nintendo fix your wii. Right now they are doing it for free, so if you start having problems you can fix them quick and free. It takes about 10 days to do this, but they will only fix it once. you must not know.
I'm always on the short side of statistics.
i'm part of the 10% not affected by this.
i'm pretty sure of it too.
i got my Wii a couple months after release. and my computer is suckin all the free floating dust in my room so yeah. not much to vaccume when you have a 7 fan computer doing it 24/7 xD

Rhed King Brawl, and a few other games, are double layered discs. They have this double layer to keep extra content, since a single layer disc would be in effective. Unfortunately, double layer discs can contaminate your disc reader on the wii. and are more susceptible to breaking once this happens. More importantly, the wii will not be able to read any kind of disc for even a brief duration once this happens. There are a few ways that you can get your wii contaminated IF YOU HAVE EVER EVEN INSERTED A DOUBLE LAYER DISC IN YOU WII! One. Leave a disc in the disc drive when the console is off. Two. Swap the wii from vertical to horizontal(or visa versa) while the wii is on. Three. Letting dust build up on the wii. Four. Ejecting a disc while playing the game. Five. Cleaning a disc incorrectly, and then putting it in the wi If you try to clean your discs, odds are your doing it wrong. Never wipe in a circular motion. Take a non fiber cloth (shirt works, so does shamwow) and wipe the disc from the center to the ousite in a straight line. basically draw a radius on your disc with the cloth, and do that around the disc intil you stop caring. Basically my wii died because of contaminants, and when I came on here today I noticed the what's in your console thread. It got me thinking that while convenient to just pick up and play a game. It can hurt your wii if you have ever used a double layer disc. I'm not trying to be annoying or anything, just thought this would help.
So are you going to get another Wii? Or is Nintendo willing to fix it for you?

Rhed King Nintendo fixes this problem for free the first time it happens. if it happens again, not so much. (they can tell by your wii's code so don't bother trying to scoot by) fixing this problem takes about 10 days from sent out to sent back. My friend got it done in 9, I got mine fixed in 7 but the site says 10. THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IS TO NOT PHYSICALLY MOVE THE WII WHEN IT'S ON. Do that and it's gg for your wii. No johns. btw the poll seems quite unanimous. After they fix it , they extend the warranty by a year. It's happened to me twice and luckily for me it happened before the warranty was up. Guess I'm lucky XD, or would that be unlucky?

BlueSparker GrowingDandelion Man, these new consoles are freakin' STUPID. Why the hell are they breaking all over the damn place when they cost a frickin' $300???? That's freakin' bull s**t! My little brother bought a used 64 YEARS ago, and it still works fine, but with all these new and so-called "improved" stations, we experience breakdown, after breakdown, after breakdown?! It's insane! Why can't they make ONE video game station nowadays that isn't a freakin' endurance JOKE?! Aren't they supposed to be testing for this kind of crap BEFORE they send it out?! I think that they just made them like this so that when they break (more than once), you'll have to buy a new one. And I'm preaching to the chior stare . . . . PREAH SISTA PREACH!
yeah its kind of ridiculous that this is happening but then again, the systems are alot more complicated thus alot fragile than the old systems. I bet you could drop a N64 off your bed and it'll still work as if you did that with a Wii, no its too gruesome. But I agree its ridiculus for that to happen.
Oh, goodie. ^^
I remember with my cousin's 64 that the most it would do was freeze up when the red expansion thing got too hot. And what did we do? We got ourselves a fan and cooled that sucker down! And compresed air fixed a lot of problems. The only two systems that we had problems with were the Playstation and the Gamecube. They were both pre-used though, and the Gamecube did last a couple of years. I think it was the disks that eventually killed it. (Which brings up another point: I MISS CARTIDGES, DAMMIT!! scream ) I guess the computer I'm using right now could also fall under the "dead" category, but my uncle ordered it and got bamboozled or something into buying a computer with really crappy memory and video card.
Now I don't know if buying a Wii is worth it. (Especially since I recieved the money for my astonishing mathematics and science abilities.)
