My WII died last night.  I got it on Day one (Nov 19 2007? something like that).

It is out of waranty and will cost $85 to fix.  They said if I take it to them they can fix it in a day, which is pretty good.

The problem however is with the memory card, most of my save games will be lost :(

This is most depressing.

I know the PS3 has a backup function (so you can backup to a usb hard disk or something).  how come the wii doesn't?  I looked for one before, i ended up manually backing things up to the memory card, but it is a painful process.

So has this happened to anyone else on here?  Or am i the only unlucky fellow?

Good to hear

That blows.

Well 3 things are certain in life.

We Live
We Die
Your console will brake

Sorry to hear it. I got mine on day one too. I hope I don't have a thread like this someday.

This is the first console I had that broke.  I guess I am fortunate in that case!

You are very fortunate!

What happened?

sorry to hear that what did you do?

Dsister44 and FootballFan are way better than I am...

Me = Fail

Sorry.
