Used is only like 5 bucks off at Gamestop.

However, if there's games that you don't play anymore, you should get a Gamestop/EB games card ($15/yr), which entitles you to 10% EXTRA on used trade-ins, and 10% off used games, plus a 1-year subscription to Game Informer magazine. So it's worth it if you spend more than $150/yr in video games.

Of course, I have one so we could always go together and use mine. Trade in a game that you've beaten or no longer play, AND get extra $4 or so bucks off the used price with the edge card, and you can get Mario Party in the $30 range.

They're also having a special right now (until the 16th) that you get an EXTRA $10 credit if you trade in two used Wii games. Also, there's a special right now for Smash Bros Brawl for $9.99 with the trade in of two select Wii games. Since I traded in two from that list that I no longer play, AND got an extra 10% credit with my edge card, I literally got SBB for $7.

Our Wii is on it's way home according to Fedex, the boy is doing the happy dance! Now hopefully no more disc error and we can finally play the long awaited game!

I'm hoping this means he will be pleasantly occupied and I can sneak to the neighbors for a pampered chef party.

So, I'm not sure if I should be happy or mad. Our Wii just arrived but it is a different Wii, so we have lost all of our data . Don't they understand how long we have worked on some of those games!! They also sent us a different copy of SBB than the one we purchased.

So Zach is torn, his Wii is home but he's lost every game score he ever had! I guess at least it works now.

[Ghoulish Delight]

Wow, that's pretty lame.

[BarTopDancer]

Oh no!

Can you call Nintendo? It may be a mistake!

[cirquelover]

Hopefully Gary will call tonight so I can sic him on Nintendo. All the accounts are in his name and I can't seem to log into his profile.

At least Zach has just turned the game on and he's dancing with his controlller! The graphics look cool so far. I'm off to watch and play!

I would definitely call Nintendo on that one. Is there a different Wii address book number and everything? You should be able to download all the Virtual Console games that you had if it's the same Wii address number, or Nintendo should reimburse you all the Wii points.

Can't the Wii memory stuff be output to an SD card? (I know for SSB you can do that, but not sure about the Wii internal memory for other games).

I'm sorry about that, I'd be POed too if that happened to me.

So after much tinkering we have found our games that we own a physical copy of BUT all the games that we downloaded and paid for with Wii points are gone. You can see them but you can't access them! I wonder how we figure this out. I'm sure Gary knows how many points we've purchased and such so I guess he'll deal with it.

Our Wii points are still there but we are missing check mii out, everybody votes and the internet channels, at least that's what we've figured out so far. I like the everybody votes channel, it was part of the fun!

I'm sure when Dad comes home this weekend him and the boy will go through it all.

Good news though, we are enjoying SBB so far! But man it's been a pain in the ass!

[blueerica]

Ugh... I still want a Wii. I am afraid that we will have to give up our desire to have things the moment we buy them and *gasp* order one online. Probably after I get my first paycheck.

But, in other news, I found this to be pretty funny.
