Should I get a new one now, or wait for Wii 2.0?

Here's the situation.  I have a Wii, and it overheated, thus causing it to damage some of the hardward and making it project odd groups of colored pixels spread throughout the screen.  Now, I can either, under my 90 day extended warranty with Nintendo, get a new one now free of charge apparently, with all of my info from my Wii moved to the new one.  Or, under the warrantee I bought from GameStop at the time of purchase, I can get it within the next year when the updated version of the Wii comes out.  Now, the second one seems better, but is there a flaw in my plan?  Oh, and I can deal with my Wii for now, but I don't want to have ugly looking games forever.  So I am for sure going with one of these options.  And if this seems unethical, post your opinions.   Thanks:).

Wii 2.0 = DVD playback and it's only announced for Japan. It isn't worth waiting, IMO. Besides even if Nintendo does release a new Wii in other territories, all of the games will still play on the old Wii, so I'd get it fixed asap.MLJ28

If 2.0 comes out it is likely well more than a year away. DVD players are super cheap, why do people want their Wii to play movies? And 2.0 will not support HD.

Furthermore, its not like it will be a console very different from what you have now. Same specs, but more internal memory. With SD cards also being so cheap, why wait for 2.0? Also I see firmware updates coming in the near future that will allow you to use USB drives.

You got ripped off by Gamestop

The Wii has a one year warranty that adds another 3 months on once you register.
The Nintendo warranty also covers more then the Gamestop one.


Never buy a warranty for a Nintendo item
