I was talking about calling up purolator and such.

Ah, I see, well they get their instruction from Nintendo, I don't have to call them.

Oh thats good.  It would just be pure crap if you had to pay a dime of the exchange.

The best part is that I get to keep everything else, I just return the console unit.

Just so you know it sounds like save games can not be transfered between systems currently. In case you where planning on backing them up.

It'd be even better if they did returns the way Visor used to (which i went through when the touch-screen stopped working on mine back in the day).

Have the manufacturer ship you a new one, and they take your CC number.  You have a month then to put the old/broken one back into the box the replacement came in, stick the pre-paid shipping label that also came in the box onto the outside, and drop it off at purolator.  If you don't return the old one, then they charge the CC for the new one.  I'd rather go the month having a partially working unit than nothing at all - and for devices with data on them, having both for a short time makes transfering stuff between 'em easy.

I haven't gotten far enough in anything yet for it to matter, I formatted my Wii last night anyway.

How about erasing the built in memory card? Sound better?
