As somebody else indicated, did you use a credit card to purchase it? My Discover card automatically doubles all manufacturer warranties (adding up to a year), and you just have to go through them and they will resolve it for you.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
Keep in mind, being a Nintendo console their repair transfers all your stuff to the new system, a new system has nothing attached to it (depending on what you have on your system).
Wow lol Nintendo Tech Support is just awesome

Thank you very much! I just checked it and it said my warrant is still valid! I'm going to call back tomorrow and make a supervisor listen to the conversation that took place and demand justice!!!

I used cash to preorder and then my card to pay it off. Does it still cover it like that?

I would certainly contact your credit card company (they probably have an easy online chat) to find out. There is no guarantees, obviously, but it is definitely worth a try, as it would result in quite a bit of savings for you.

Make sure you speak with a manager this time and even if your warranty has ended (which I doubt because you registered the system online) you should raise some hell with the management and I am sure they will reduce the price of the repair (this works for most tech companies btw). Anyways good luck :D

The guy I spoke to at tech support was about the dumbest person alive, and to add insult to injury they are trying to charge me almost $200 to send it in for repair because the warranty ended 2 weeks ago. I told him for that much I could almost buy a new one. His words exactly were: "I don't recommend buying a new one because if that one breaks then you'll have two broken Wii U's.".....,FUCKING IDIOT! Sorry for the rant. Just needed to get this off my chest. |
Not to make light of your situation, but I am...
I think you're confusing died with committed suicide.

If it's a credit card, not a bank debit card it might. Knowing a CC company, they'd likely need 100% of the purchase be made on the card, but idk.
If it's a CC, call 'em, let them know you purchased the console on your card (don't offer the details unless they ask) and see where it leads. I don't recommend you lie, because they likely can look-up the transaction (you'll likely need your receipt too), but they'll let you know if it applies or not.
Did you buy your Wii U when it first came out?
In that case, I have two reasons to feel bad for you.
