How did that happen?!
All these "my Wii is bricked" posts are making me nervous about mine arriving next week (hopefully).

It just happens when you update for the first time. It would appear to be random, but I figure systems that were produced earlier (hence having earlier firmware) are the victims of it. I'm calling Nintendo tomorrow. Just to clarify, you give them your credit card number, they send you a new one, and when you get the new one, then you send your old one back, right?

Pretty much. If they have your CC# on file, that's insurance in case you don't return the brick.

If they instead suggest sending yours first, try offering your CC#. Some reps are better at this than others.

Yeah. I called them today. Nintendo customer support is awesome. I was seriously on hold for about ten seconds, then the guy knew exactly what to do, and he was real nice.

Yay, congrats, KN! How'd you snag one? Did you have to wait in line somewhere?

I got my Wii today, it's so small and cute. The controller is smaller than I thought it would be, not too small, just smaller.

Didn't know where to stick this, but look at that range!

WII GET!!!!!

I FINALLY GOT ONE! Waited 5 hours in -13 weather, but it's all worth it. I expect handwritten letters of congratulations from all of you. I haven't even played a game yet; just messed around with all the channels. It's awesome!

Congrats IceCold!!
I hope you got Zelda though

congrats! Now you can get weather forcasts on your Wii so you can plan around cold/bad weather.

Congratulations. Now go to bed.

Wake up in 7 hours and give me your Wii code.

IceCold · « **Reply #88 on:** January 01, 2007, 08:14:36 PM »

Done!

I actually did sleep through that day

Am I the only one who didn't think the controller was smaller than expected?

Maybe it's because I heard so many reports of "It's smaller than I thought it would be!", but I expected a device designed to accommodate the hands of tiny Japanese children. I was relieved to see that this was not the case.

Also, grats, Ice. I'll add you soon.
