At least they responded instantly, and didn't deny it for ages. Unlike two other companies I won't name

*Cough* Sony, Microsoft *Cough*

I've actually heard from some people that they're games didn't work at first, but they exchanged the game and then it worked.

Well we can pretty much say for certain now that the PS3 is the most well put together and manufactured console on the market.

Aaah, but the games...

Why would anyone do such a horrible thing like that? :?

Anyway, I got my Wii on Christmas 2006, and my copy of Super Smash Brothers Brawl works fine. I'm happy.

Nintendo aint stupid SSBB is the most anticipated game so you need a system update (thats on the disk) in order to play it. And that system update probably removes your mod or bricks your Wii. Or maye you wont be able to do the update at all.
