Wii Woes

[Mr. Analog]

So, a significant number of new Wii owners (myself included) are experiencing a nasty bug after attempting to update for the first time. I finally turned my wireless router on today and at first things were going great. Then I got this fabulous WiiConnect24 error (link works in IE only... punters). I intend to find out MOAR tomorrow when the Nintendo staff has finished gorging on Turkey flesh.

On the plus side, games still work and are INCREDIBLY FUN.

On the down side, I will MOST LIKELY have to be FORCED to send my Wii back to N-Prime via UPS, my most hated of foes as this problem (from internet hearsay) is un-fixable.

Unless you got the numbered error, that was probably just the busy server message. The service was down or swamped for a while earlier.. I couldn't log in to check the Wii Store.

Might have even been /. ed because of this being posted

110260 if I recall. BELIEVE ME I was on the INTERNETS within seconds of getting it.

Well on the plus side I have already read reports of people sending units in and getting new ones already.. Sound like a quick turn around.

If they only as for the console... Can I borrow your Wiimote LOL.

It is a temendous hassle to have to do this, especially through UPS.

N.O. if I have to suffer, so does everyone else

So, I called the big N up and I will have to return the console unit to them via Purolator. I'll give 'em a call un Sunday I guess.

It's probably just as well, since when I was playing last night time flew out the window, froze and fell into a snowdrift.

Nintendo isn't handling this?

Ouch this totally sux for you dude!  Out of all the consoles, would have thought the Wii would be the most solid of them all!

Use your office address as the Pickup and Dropoff location, turn around could be as little as 3 days.

That's who I meant by 'the Big "N"', apparently there is no fix for this problem that a home user can do without voiding their warrenty. On the plus side, it's all free.

Well, it's just the online stuff thats bust right now, I can still play all my games... I wanted to get connected to my computer and Lazy though last night.

Ah well! The games are a hell of a lot of fun!
