Wii System Update Got Problems?
November 22nd, 2006
Ours seems fine. But stories like these make me scared!
Last month, some Xbox 360 owners downloaded the Fall Update to the system’s dashboard only to find that it had turned their systems into a giant paperweight. Now it appears that one of the first system updates to the Nintendo Wii has similarly affected a portion of the fledgling console’s user base, and Nintendo’s official forums have attracted numerous reports of broken Wiis.
Apparently the systems in question began exhibiting problems immediately after downloading updates from the WiiConnect 24 service. Specifically, the systems begin giving out the error code “110213.” Several of the posters reported getting through to Nintendo’s customer service, only to be told that the problem couldn’t be fixed from their end and the consoles would need to be sent in to Nintendo for repairs at the company’s expense.
