Ok one piece of good news to counter all the negativity

[sarah_sensei]

I got my Wii back yesterday from the Nintendo service center. Not only did they clean it, but they replaced the optical drive, free of charge. The thing runs SO QUIET now. I think my Wii always had a "noisy" drive and it was a first run Wii. It was still under warranty after all this time O_O So I didn't even have to pay for the shipping and they paid for 2-day air both ways.

That's what I call service :}

<3 you Nintendo.
