This exact same thing happened to me when Brawl first came out in the USA, but it was for Spring Break.
I had Brawl for a little over a week...and I had been playing it just fine for many many hours, so I thought all was well. I get home from my class on the Friday that Spring Break starts..and I pop in the game...and 2 minutes later my system makes a loud crunching sound and dies. I missed out the entire Spring Break....
