ok, Wii is back, YEAH!!!

It was not a refurb. They actually fixed my unit, I could tell due to a particular mark I had on it.

It had all of my saved game content, but none of the channels. It was also still on the 2.0OS. So I had to upgrade to 3.1 and then redownload all of the channels.

Other than that it is perfect and I was only out a wii for 5 days!!


Video artifacts started showing up on my Wii this week. I already filed for the return on  Ninty's Web site, and received confirmation that a UPS label is on its way to me.

Couple of questions:

1. Did you ever get any information back from the Nintendo reps acknowledging what causes the problem?

2. Anybody else do a return and get their same Wii back and not a refurb? Yours is the first I've heard of this.

If I had my druthers, I'd prefer to get my own Wii back too knowing it's been cared for. I'd even wait extra time for it.
