My parents gave my husband and I the special black Wii for Christmas and so far we LOVE it. This isn't just for kids/teens. I'm 41 and my husband is 44 and we have a blast playing games!

I think that its loose. actually I'm positive that it's loose.
So I need help. Where do I send my WII to be fixed. My mom will murder me if 500$ worth of stuff goes unused!
So where does it get sent to be repaired. or who do I ask about this?


I hav the red WII, but I don't think that makes much of a difference.

My 27-yr-old son has owned every Nintendo console model ever made, since his early toddler years with the lovely gray box we all remember. But I've never owned a console myself, so when the kids all grew up and moved out, I started to wonder if I wanted my own console, and if so, which one? (My other son is an XBox and PS3 guy.)

Just bought my own Wii last week, mostly because I just re-signed with Netflix and wanted to use the streaming function too. But now I find I'm getting hooked on the games as much as the Netflix function. Came with Mario Kart, and I've bought Ocarina of Time (classic controller) and Wii Sports. Will be buying Animal Crossing and Twilight Princess soon.

Anyway, I'm totally in love with this thing -- I'm even using the News Channel and the Forecast Channel a lot.

I waited too long to break down and buy this thing. Thoroughly enjoying it -- and so small! (My son's PS3 and XBox are huge in comparison.)

And I'm here because I know I'll have questions along the way, and my poor firstborn shouldn't have to answer ALL his mother's annoying noob questions.

I just picked up my 2nd Wii today. I got my first a few weeks after launch and sold it sometime in '08. I have had the PS3 and 360 for a while and picked up a new Wii to experience some of the titles I've missed.

So far I have Mario Kart and Other M.

I have had a Wii for about a year and a half. Before, I was never interested in the present gaming generation. I am heavily into retro gaming. But when NiGHTS was released for the Wii I felt that I had to have one. I purchased NiGHTS months before I fianlly got my Wii. I am an Arcade gamer at heart, so having a Wii, to me, is like having an Arcade at home. That is the way I look at the motion gaming experience. And Netflix through my Wii is just an added bonus. I use an outdoor TV antenna to receive my TV programming. I receive 30 digital channels with 8 of those being HD. The Wii adds to my watching habits some great retro TV choices.Gotta love the Wii.
