Woman uses Wii as a debit card machine
 
Quote:
According to HUELEN10, some neighbors with whom he is casually acquainted informed him that they had just given their kids a Wii for Christmas, and then solicited game recommendations. HUELEN10 suggested a few retail games as well as the Sega Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Unfamiliar with the Virtual Console, the mother asked for further explanation, which HUELEN10 offered, saying, among other things, that it requires the user to "put in her credit card when prompted on the Shop Channel, and get the amount of points she wanted."

Which she did, unfortunately. Some time later, the mother called her neighbor, furious that their new Wii had been broken by following his advice. She put the credit cards into the Wii, just like he said.

Right into the disc slot.

And when one didn't work, she went ahead and jammed two more credit cards in there. Now, with three unusable credit cards and one busted Wii, she has demanded that HUELEN10 pay for repairs.

Look forward to a new warning screen on Wii games, right after the Health and Safety screen and the wrist strap warning!

There was a period in the original post.

El Fangel 01-01-2009 10:39 PM
The second comma cancelled it out.

Kane Knight 01-01-2009 10:54 PM
He's insecure about his Wii. On a related note, I have to have gotten a large number of red reps from him.

Did you hear about the 360 class action lawsuit complaining that the 360 scratches discs if turned on its side while running?

I'd be to ashamed to admit I was stupid enough to move the console like that.

I'm betting you still get more of this with systems like the Wii, though, which pander to soccer moms and other people with the computer savvy of your average chimp.

I'm sure Assman's offended, but you know...He probably wouldn'ttake it so personally if he didn't think it applied to him.

Ogen 01-02-2009 11:18 AM
You are all awful, I love Assman.

Who is to say it isnt that same kind of people who buy Wii's

#BROKEN Hasney 01-02-2009 11:42 AM
A mate called me to ask if he could get Microsoft Points at the currency exchange desk once.

Some poeple are retarded, it's not limited to which console they buy.

Maybe he wanted to exchange them for a Wii?

Cool to bash it becaue it's a popular electronic. I didn't know this.

Xero 01-02-2009 12:31 PM
Yeah, the constant flow of shitty games has nothing to do with it.

Shitty games and shitty software. And everyone and their grandma has one.

Adder 01-02-2009 12:49 PM
So F/A, because everyone has one, it should be a reason to bash it. Thank you for clarifying.

Its overrated, has shitty games and is made out to be the greatest thing since SNES

Kane Knight 01-02-2009 12:55 PM
Adder, you're better than short bus statements like "it's cool to hate (noun)" or "People hate (noun) because it's popular."

Come now.

To be honest, the big reason why the Wii is saturated with shitty games and "games" which can hardly be described as a game is because everyone has it. Especially the non-gamers who go for the shit which isn't a game.

"Oh, this system has an exercise machine! I'm gonna get it!"

"Oh, this game will teach me how to cook! I can use that!"

You see what I'm getting at.

Not saying every Wii game is terrible, but there's a flood a beyond terrible "games".

Adder 01-02-2009 01:08 PM
Does anyone feel forced to buy the shitty games?

Adder 01-02-2009 01:09 PM
I remember when PS3 came out and the big complaint was not enough games

El Fangel 01-02-2009 01:10 PM
Not enough action games to be honest. God of War would be amazing on that.

Adder 01-02-2009 01:10 PM
Wii appeals to a larger cross section of users. Wii caters to a greater cross section by making games and programs for these consumers.

You guys complain about it.

I'm guessing you're not buying the games that don't cater to you. So why give a shit about them?
