Why can't you just get it repaired?
Even if it is out of warranty it will probably be at most $80 or something (and it will be as good as a new Wii, as well as Nintendo will transfer your shop account over so you can donload any games you have again (thought you would need to back up any saves that you can)
Hmm, well if your game collection is accurate then you don't have any Wiiware/VC anyway... but it will still be a lot cheaper getting it fixed than buying a new one.
