Well, that goes without saying of course, lol

Edit: I am very annoyed, as this WPB has, and is still currently happening to me. I have to try a couple things, in order to clean it, as I don't have a warranty on it.  

if certain wii's are having trouble reading DVD9's, then what will happen when more and more games start being released on DVD9?

Is the wii's optical drive so sensitive to the point of not being able to read DVD9 if their is dust, I mean dust is so common and it get's in everything, Nintendo should have factored dust issues when making it's optical drive.
What good is it to have an optical drive than can read standard dvd despite if their is dust or not and then spaz out when trying to read a DVD9 because of the dust...just seems weird to me.

 I didn't miss it. But since we have such oppose view on the whole thing, also, I've already stated the below before (I will repeat it now)

What I'm concerned about isn't the failure rate, or the cause. It's the fact you have to send it in to get it repaired and the public reception of such issue. Nintendo seems to be riding the easy wave through it while Microsoft is being bashed bitterly wherever it goes.

 Now, I'm not saying Nintendo should get bashed for it, but the fact nobody seemed to be complaining about it while Microsoft is being kicked while it's on the ground is a bit strange.

A handful of launch Wiis are affected by an inability to read dual layer discs. 33% of all 360s suffer a RROD. It is simply a matter of scale. It is acceptable to have some minor hardware defects, but not super widespread failure. This is a minor hardware defect and only affects one game right now.

 RRoD can be caused by any number of things.

WPB? is one game... that is it.

 I don't know much about you, so I might be off but I have noticed you have been bashing alot of Nintendo products lately... why do you hate them?

I used to knock the 360 quite a bit, well you will find that I ocassionaly still do, although only on hardware and such, not on the games. Now that I own one, I realized how good some of these games are... like Bioshock and Lost Odyssey.

Try to not hate on everything and quit being cheap, pick one up and give it a try. I guarantee you will feel foolish for alot of the things you say and/or have said. I know I did. 

But the failure rate has everything to do with it. Will you create a similar thread if your TV breaks and you have to send it over for repair? If things have to get repaired, they have to get sent somewhere for it.

People don't bash Microsoft because their 360s have to be sent away for repair. They bash Microsoft because 360's failure rate is absolutely dismal.

 I think a common failure, that happens to numerous people, regardless whether it's 30% or 5% (as long as it's over the acceptable range) deserves some kind of public anger.

>Can you prove that the number of WPB disc read errors is above the acceptable range?

Enough to issue a public statement with links for repair info? I'm glad they admit the problem right away, but to go and ask me for actual number shows that you have no idea how companies operate.

Can you prove that the number of RRoD disc read errors is above the acceptable range? No? Well, there you go. All the numbers are pure speculation only, Microsoft (or any electronic companies) doesn't release them for a reason.

This is kingofphails version of penis envy.

Thank you for showing me once again why I think you are pathetic fanboy that uses any excuse to blast Nintendo now that they are wiping their asses with Sony.

 See, it's not a flaw.  It's a feature.  And a new sales tool to help when Wii Fit comes out.
