Tssss... you don't want mario to read this.

On topic.

Metroid other m looks like a great game, probably not perfect. Even on GT they gave it a good review. You even have deals for it with like 20 dollar off.

The wii does suffer from some 3rd party troubles. It's sad, but not the end of the world. There are plenty of games on it. Which ones might be the problem for you. Another console perhaps - a secondhand Xbox360 is not that expensive.  

This is just me, but I would never buy a system used if I can get it new--especially in this day an age.  You won't get that 3-year warranty on a second-hand Xbox360.  And keep in mind, all three consoles this generation ran into hardware issues either overheating, melting the casing, RRoDing, or bricking.  The biggest side effect of this generation being so rushed was that nobody got out there issue-free.  My SNES is still infinitly more reliable than my Wii--which has a tendency to just sit there rather than reading discs half the time. 

True. But the problem lies more in complexity of all the (spinning) parts than the design. A diskdrive is a sentive thing. When the consoles go digital the reliability will improve vastly.
