[QUOTE="mariomusicmaker"]Wiis do not over heat! it is a myth! And if yours dose happen to over heat then it is defective and you get a shiny new one for free and N Cosutmer service is the best in town so no worries! SamhainX
Wiis DO overheat. My first Wii overheated and caused graphical corruption, so i sent it back to Nintendo. They sent me a brand new Wii console. The second console also overheated and caused graphical corruption, so i sent it back to Nintendo. They sent me a second brand new Wii console. I left WiiConnect24 running all of the time on the first two consoles. I turned WiiConnect24 off on my third console. My third console has not overheated. You do the math.
I will say, I do not play my Wii everyday. Sometimes I will go a week without playing it due to work and family. This may be why WiiConnect24 caused problems with my first two consoles. Because I left them in standby mode, the fans did not run for long periods of time. Also, just for the record, all of my Wii consoles have been placed in the Vertical position.

Don't play any Russian Roulette then, my friend, because you're incredibly unlucky. I've had my Wii since the US launch. I've left in on for days in a row running a game, I've left in WC24 mode for days, I've had it vertical, horizontal, on the stand, off the stand. And I've never had a single problem with my Wii. I know others who have had their Wiis since last year as well, and they've never had any problems either.
I've said it before, and I'll most likely have to say it again -- the average Wii does not get any hotter than your standard laptop. It always comes down to this. I'm going to go out and say it, but i think all Wiis have a problem. Let's say you leave WiiConnect24 on for a month (without turning it on) i bet anyone's Wii would suffer ffrom overheating. The thing is, many more people are likely to have problems. Like SamhainX said, he had two Wiis with both the same problem, i also heard a story about another guy who went through two Wiis. I think that Nintendo should go out and realease a patch that makes the fan come on for like 15 minutes every 2 hours or something (can that be done)?
