Both works perfectly fine. sometimes it doesn't detect the disc but all i have to do is turn it off, and turn it back on again and its' fine.



Currently loving my Wii x2, Xbox 360 Pro & Xbox 360 Arcade, and Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children Limited "Cloud Black" 160GB PS3

GAMEFLY & GOOZEX FTW

I got mine back in May, at first it wouldn't recognize my Wii remote, but I was able to get it to work after a few restarts. Since then, haven't had any problems.

Got mine in early December. Has Frozen twice since then, but nothing a reset didn't fix. No other problems.

Well I got my replacement today, I was excited! So after my kids started to get settled for bed I thought I'd try it out. DEFECTIVE. That's right, my replacement Wii for my already DEFECTIVE one is DEFECTIVE. The disc drive won't accept the discs :(. So next Tuesday I receive my THIRD Wii. Hopefully this won't turn into an issue like that kid with his 9 360's. :/

No problem with my Wii but I didn't played much with it so it would be really incredible if my wii would already be defective the only problem I maybe have is with the Wii remote one of the remotes I have doesn't detect the Wii console very well.

Bought my system a week after launch, set up WiiConnect24, noticed some glitchy pixels after the New Year while playing games like Zelda: Twilight Princess where layers of fog/dust appeared in the foreground. Never saw the problem with simpler games, but it did turn up in Godfather: Blackhand Edition. Never encountered any actual gameplay glitches, it was strictly a display issue.

Sent it in for repair during the May drought, since then no problems at all with WiiConnect24 always on. I don't think the problem has anything to do with WiiConnect24, it seems related to the level of graphical intensity and some Wii GPUs had faulty display buffers.

Dang rendo thats the craps. You'd think Nintendo wouldn't send you another bad one. Maybe this time they'll send a working Wii, AND some candy! (And no I'm not making light of your situation, it DOES suck. But still, the candy would be nice. Maybe a signed Miyamoto picture?)

My Wii has taken a couple of trips and been knocked from the TV stand to the ceramic floor three times thanks to my three-year-old son, including one where the top was severely scratched (Guess the tricycle rampage my son does every day in the living room had its first "hit and run" with a console).

Not a problem at all.
