"Long-running BBC consumer affairs show Watchdog took Sony to task over the reliability of its Playstation 3 console this week, claiming that more than 150 of its viewers have experienced a 'yellow light of death' fault which renders their console inoperable -- and that Sony won't pay to fix the affected machines@."

The only thing the wii is criticized for is breaking tvs- though that's mostly because of the person, not the console.

It looks like nintendo has built a pretty solid machine this generation. I don't think i've heard of a wii problem before come to think of it.



I got a black screen from my Wii.. maybe we should give the Wii BSoD.



Pixel Art can be fun.

It will be a sad day if my PS3 fails.My Xbox360 got RROD 4 times now its sitting on top of my computer desk torn apart with all the games traded in .



the power supply can temporarily fail. all you need to do to fix it is leave it unplugged from the console and outlet for a minute. thats all ive ever heard.

did you try installing homebrew? if so i think i know a place that can help. if not then i think nintendo will fix it for free if its new enough or charge i think 50$.



I guess the most common problem with the Wii are the dirty lens, it generates problems with games like Brawl and Metroid Trilogy.



the Wii does suffer from a minor fatal glitch. Basically the disc drive fails and the blue lights stay glowing. BLoD you can call it.

Hmm, it made me waste a lot of money on VC if that counts.



As the Wii is rather simple compared to the other consoles, more like a slimmed down but upgraded GameCube I think overheating problems should be very few.

Minus overheating issues I think most likely moving parts are going to fail in a console, so the disc drive for the Wii as the console doesn't have a harddrive (and fans can be much simpler). Compared to the PS3 (Blu-Ray being new and more advanced tech) and XBox 360 (discs spinning like crazy, resulting in quicker wearing and potential disc scratching) I think the Wii is still likely less prone to such issues as well.
