As popular as the gaming market is, there is no guide that comes with your console when you buy it that lists all the common hardware and software issues that arise from time to time and that you can solve at home. They have left this to be exploited by people who make a living by over charging.
The Wii is currently the most popular console sold in the home and sales are going steady which indicate they will be for the foreseeable future. You will receive a warranty if you purchase the console from new which means you can send the console off to be repaired by Nintendo. The obvious down fall of this is the time it takes. It is however, in my opinion worth the wait. At the end of the day, Nintendo made the machine and they know it inside out, so it makes sense for them to do the fixing and you know they are doing a proper job. Its when your warranty has expired or you bought the console second hand and therefore don’t have one, is when the cash starts to be spent getting it repaired.
