Forums - Nintendo Discussion - My Wii Just died!

Batman...WTF? on 15 January 2009

What the fuck happened? I was playing The Godfather when my Wii flipped me off and stopped reading discs. Like in the middle of the game. For no reason. And now it won't read anything. I can't afford the 75$ to have it repaired (I'm a teen living with my parents, who hate video games, and they won't pay for it). Ironically, I spent my last bit of cash on a Wii game, which I can't play anymore. Any tips, something like the Towel Trick? (Which just saved my 360)

How long have you had your Wii for? Call Nintendo and see if they'll repair it for free, they have great customer service.

And if you do have to pay, shovel snow or somth'n

Two years. Nintendo is the one charging my 75$, which is a fair price, considering my 360 was almost 110$ with shipping.

Did it have RROD? How old is your 360? If it was RROD, it shoulda been free.
