Interesting. When I sent my wii in to them, I had the complete opposite experience. It came back working great (it had a funky laser which wouldnt read dual layer discs or gamecube games), looking nice and shiny, and with the gamecube controller and memory card covers replaced as mine weren't on it. It was free too, despite being out of warranty, probably because it was a launch wii and they're known for laser troubles.BoringSupreez wrote:: Good stuff from the thrift store today.
: My Nintendo repair experience. I sent in my DSi XL for a camera repair since it was still in warranty. Got it back, and the cameras work all right. But now the left speaker makes crackly noises on the two highest volume settings, which it didn't before I sent it in. Also, the repair people didn't bother to clean the system or anything extra like that. In fact, they smudged up the screens. In comparison, when I had my 360 repaired, not only did they clean it, they gave me a new power brick and a new hard drive slot cover.

It's an established fact these days that NOE is better than NOA, that's probably why your experience was better.alienjesus wrote:Interesting.

I don't know about that. The one time I sent my DSi XL for a repair, I was very pleased with the service. No issues with the whole process.BoringSupreez wrote: It's an established fact these days that NOE is better than NOA, that's probably why your experience was better.

I've heard great things about their repair service, though I've never used it. When I was fixing my noisy Wii optical drive, one or two people mentioned that they sent it to Nintendo for repair with great success.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?
I found out firsthand why prickly pears are called prickly pears. Those fuckfruits leave almost microscopic stingers in your skin that are virtually impossible to remove. Feels like my hands are full of splinters now. In fact, they are full of splinters...
On top of that, I got a few in my face too from scraping the meat out of them pears. And I scratched my dick half an hour ago. Now some of the stingers on my hands transfered to the nether regions...
FUCK !!!
These fruits should come with a warning.
