I have high hopes for Nintendo customer service now. Please keep us updated on how things go. I'd be interested to know. Paul - it is crazy, isn't it? Even the iPhone was readily available on launch weekend. You'll have no problem buying a PS3 today, even with the continuously lowered prices. And the XBox 360 is still a solid seller, despite the all-too-commonplace red rings of death issues. Who'da thunk it? I’m sorry to hear the sad news, Overworm.

After 10 great months of fun, it began experiencing a little difficulty ejecting discs. Now, it won't eject at all and the disc is stuck, about an inch of it protruding from the console. It's impossible to grab it and pull it out because it feels like Wii elves have a vise grip, holding it tight, and I'm afraid to pull too hard for fear of breaking something. Crap. Now I have to see if Nintendo will ask me to mail the darn thing back to them or if they'll just ship me a new one. I guess the good news is that this is still under the 12 month manufacturer's warranty. My Wii just broke itself.

It is incredible to think just how successful it has been over such a short period of time. I'm looking for one for Christmas but everywhere is sold out, just goes to show how popular it still is.
