What.............................................? That's a steal! The whole console itself was costing 70$ to manufature by 2010...  They charged you 60euros for the disc drive, exorbitant!

Edit: I guess the disc drive cost was just 10-15euros, the rest 50-45euros was for the mender...Europe

You need to look up what the phrase "it's a steal" means.

It doesn't matter what the manufacturing cost was. A new Wii was still €199 at the time and there's no way for a data transfer, so getting a proper repair for €60 isn't a bad option. The console returned in the same week I sent it in, so it didn't take long either.

So you're ok paying 60euros when the cost of the a new disc drive was probably just 10-15 euros?

What can I say? You might be an affluent person... Perhaps, if my budget was high enough, I wouldn't have any problem too...
