How about if after trying to play FFXIII, you then could not play ANYTHING? That's the main difference here. While it's an issues, the issue is in a very few Wii's, you can't play one game.

Personally, I call BS on the dust thing. I think it's a different issues. Slot loading drives are cleaner, and the Wii is upright for most users. Also it's just a DVD drive. Nothing fancy there.

I have no idea what the problem is, and I am sure Nintando will fix it, but saying it's just "dust on the lens" is BS. 

It Works!! Yay!!

I have the launch Wii and was nervous.

I don't like the game, but my kids are playing it right now!

It works!

btw - of course there is some double standard here.  Nintendo is everyone's favorite and Microsoft is a company that people like to hate.  It's okay though - I'm not complaining. 

Who said it will be 4-6 weeks? Can you give a link? calm down... you are telling people to talk based on facts while you just spin this like an angry person, a very angry person towards the source of its anger.

 I think you had been seriously traumatized by Nintendo at some part of your life, though I wont ask you to post about it, dont worry, its ok.

My launch Wii works and runs SSBB fine.

And nobody cared about RRoD after the first day either, it takes time to develop into a situation. ;>

Wow yeah this thread is total failure, you shouldn't try to troll about the Wii not playing brawl and say its like the RRoD its only similar cause Nintendo and MS will fix it for free, the difference is dust IN your Wii is your own fault for not taking care of your hardware, if its nasty its your own fault Nintendo is nice enough to fix the problem though, the problem the consumer created not Nintendo.

Nice post kingoftroll =)

It seems a bit funny that a thread that was started to complain abou the lack of complaints about Nintendo for the issue of failing SSBB has more posts than ALL of the failure threads combined.

Seems like one of those news stories, where the media frenzy becomes more of the story than the story itself. Has anyone done a newer count? Are we above 5 failures now? And how many of those have been fixed by various means already?

so far, little over 3% of VGChartz members' brawl doesn't work.
