My Wii is about to be a year old. I think I kind of hurt it though since I played MW3 quite frequently. What is the average lifespan of a Wii? And if your Wii's disc drive broke, what did you do?
I had one for 3 years and it broke on December 2nd 2010.
I just bought a new Wii. Play it off a USB if your disc drive breaks.
I'm guessing that Black Ops finished off your Wii? Also is playing MW3 off a usb legal as long as you have the game? And does Nintendo fine you?
If Nintendo gave people fines for playing off a USB they would have millions more dollars to spare. All it does it break your warranty for the Wii since you need to mod your wii. Think about everyone that hacks in public matches with redbox and what not. All those people have modded wiis but use them for bad reasons. They're are many good reasons to mod a wii.
And yes blops finished off my wii but I have 1,500+ hours on black ops on my wii now. ![]()
Ok I'll probably play my games off a USB once the disc drive breaks. However, I don't understand how you get the Wii to run off your usb? I've heard of Homebrew, but I'm still confused lol. Also, will these channels used for modding ever shut down? Like when the Wii is overtaken by the Wii U?
lol Just go to teh Y0utuB3zzzz
You should get USB loader before your disc drive breaks because then you can immediately rip the game from the disc to your HDD. You won't have to search the web for the game and wait until it finishes downloading. It will also help keep your inner pirate under control ![]()
iv had mine almost 4 years, disc drive broke a month ago... i'm know playing it on usb until the wii u comes out, then i'll beat it with a stick
I've had mine practically since it came out, never a thing wrong with it...
I've had mine for about 4 years, I play CoD on it alot. It's still works very well.
No problems, EVER.
Same here, bombproof
Mine died after 5 years. I played everything on it including games that Nintendo said may damage the disc drive. Also played Black Ops but not as much as a lot of people on here did.
What games did Nintendo say could damage the disc drive? And I wonder if the Wii U will have better disc drives.
Metroid other M was and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. If your disc drive went out while playing those Nintendo would fix it for free. They replace it with a better drive too. Don't worry about Wii U. They learned their lesson.
