After only 8 hours of usage, the Wii died. First was the remote not working. After several attempts to resync the remotes, I turned off the console and now it shows a blank TV screen. Attempts at troubleshooting with every conceivable combination of console, cables and televisions were unsuccessful. The Nintendo web site was equally useless providing only the same basic information that any nerd would have tried. Is it plugged in? Do the lights come on? Really helpful...NOT! After reading through all the useless recommendations, it finally just says I need to repair it.But of course, when I enter in the serial number, the web site can't determine if my brand-new console is under warranty. How lame is that? Calling the 800 number they provide connects me to what sounds like a fax machine. Nice bogus support phone number. If this is the kind of support and quality product I can expect from Nintendo, then maybe I should just return this product.
