What would Walmart have to do with it? I got mine from Walmart and it works perfectly.

my wii has froze a few times. for instance when i leave the wiishop and return back to the menu it will freeze and turn black instead of seeing the wii black blinking pattern, i see nothing but as if my tv was turned off.
happens also when i use the web browser
honestly it happens so rarely though that its not that big of a deal for really anyone to notice even myself. i just do a hard reset and then it works fine.
ill learn to deal

Mine so far has been freeze-free and I've had it since launch on 7th of December! The internet channel hasn't frozen either, so I hope the full version fixes that for all the people it has happened to.

LoL, there's so many ppl with their Wii being frozen sometimes, and I'm playing Wii for many hours a day. When I got ZTP I played it 5 hours non-stop one time, and the only things frozen were my eyes..WTF?!?

The main reason the wii freezes in the internet channel is because it cant load things in the memory it doenst have room for thats why you cant always watch videos on youtube or why when you go to someones myspaces who has like 4 videos and a song playing it crashes lol

If you looked at my post in page 1, you will find that i said that the internet channel trial version has bugs in it, hence crashing while viewing videos etc

I think that it would be a good idea maybe to check you game disks for smugs and if there no damage, maybe you should return your wii for a new one.

mine has frozen in the internet channel only,
but once in a while when I play DBZ the graphics will screw up, when I do like super moves or something... the game will still run but the entire screen will be full of weird colors and stuff... then after a few seconds it returns to normal
is it normal for the wii to be hot underneath? I'm just wondering, because mine gets pretty hot

If it screws up like that and your wii is pretty hot then call nintendo, it may be a defect as my wii seems cool and i have connect24 on. I have heard other people with the same problem.. good luck to you

my wii can be just plugged with the standby light on in and it will be pretty hot to the touch underneath... so I dunno... it's always been like this
dunno about consoles but for a pc the graphics screwing up like that is usually a sign of the graphics chip overheating
if I do have to send back my wii..... what do I do with my save games?
I don't wanna have to redo zelda :-(

Ok, first ring them up and see what they say. You can save your miis on a wii remote with the mii channel. You can save channel data and gamesaves on a SD card, if you have a digital camera, is might use a sd card. Then your set

Mine has actually frozen once.
I was playing Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time on the VC and i had just entered Kakariko Village for the first time and i went read a sign and the screen froze. So i pressed the off button and then turned it back on, all is all right no damage, no nothing. Just froze
