4gamers?
« on: January 08, 2005, 01:48:26 AM »
Hi everyone.
I bought a Gamecube in November, and the controller is already on the fritz! (It's an official one). The left joystick kind of clicks when I go up/down (fine with right/left), it's fine when I hold it in with a bit of pressure though (enough pressure to take some pleasure out of the games).
SO, I'm thinking of getting a new controller and I saw this 4gamers pack for 60% of the price of an official controller and it comes with a controller, game wallet and 4mb memory card.
Does anyone have any experience with these? Are they any good?
I would send it in for repair on warranty (in fact I might give Nintendo a call on Monday) however according to the website the warranty will not apply if:

"- If the ACCESSORY has been subjected to misuse, abuse, accident or want of care.
- Wear and tear. "
(http://www.nintendo.com.au/nintendo/service/warrantyGCacc.php)

I'm not sure what they mean by misuse, abuse, accident or want of care (if someone could ellaborate for me) but wear and tear couldn't be it could it? It's only been 2 months and 5 days!!!

Thanks

Misuse:  Using the controller for things that it's not supposed to be used for.  Like, I don't know, a stool.

Abuse:  Throwing it against the wall.

Accident:  Throwing it against the wall...by accident.

Want of Care:  Not giving the controller the proper love it deserves.

I phoned the helpline about the warranty, and it's a $15 Appraisal fee for them to see if it's a manufacterers fault or mine. If it's the manufacterers then I get the $15 back, if it's mine then I can either pay more (almost the price of a brand new controller) for them to fix it, or they'll chuck it free of charge. *sigh*
Anyone have experience with the Australian Nintendo warranty service? I really don't wanna pay someone $15 to throw away my controller.
