| rendo said: I posted awhile ago about my Wii issues. I'll quickly go over them again. I purchased my Wii in December of 06. After a few weeks it started to make some really bad whirring noises. I ignored them and eventually they became louder than the sounds from the games I was playing. I ignored it further until I started getting disc errors. So I sent it away in March after about 3 months of listening to its crap. Nintendo's repair services are EFFING GREAT. Not only was EVERYTHING FREE, but they send you a replacement Wii first, you put your old Wii in, they take a CC # incase you don't send the other back, and you send your broken one back. Was great.... Or was it? My replacement Wii ALSO had to be replaced. The disc drive wouldn't accept or eject discs. I was sad. In fact, the CSR said this was the FIRST time he EVER heard of this happening. So my replacement needed a replacement, got my NEW Wii in another box, took my CC #, sent the other one back, and my new one worked perfectly. Thank God I never had any VC stuff because that would've been a bitch to deal with. Whole ordeal, I was without a Wii for about 10 days. I paid nothing, and also got a 1 year warranty on the replacement Wii, with the same FREE services. Nintendo does a GREAT job. |
Actually the VC stuff is ridiculously easy to deal with if you linked your my nintendo account. It took me like 10 seconds to sort out with the tech(literally) The call went like this "Hi robert can you turn your wii on for me and do this" "okay done" "Alright now check it" "wow that's it thanks" finer details left out on purpose but thats basically it. Nintendo CS is top notch, Sony is decent to deal with but with Microsoft I held on the phone for 2 hours(not exaggerating the situation ; ;) Nintendo repaired my new Zelda DS lite when my mother ended up trying to do me a favor and put a screen protector on it(that was my christmas present) and ruined it by putting the casing with glue on it and getting it stuck to the DS screen air bubbles and all... Nintendo fixed it for free inside of a week.
