I'm stupid - Wii setup......

[The Psychedelic Mango]

So I got lucky enough to snag two Wii's yesterday at Target. I get home and rip one out of the box, hook up everything and start it up. It comes up to the first screen and asks you to hit A. I do and it gets to the "Select a language" screen. English is selected so I hit A. Nothing. I try to scroll down with the + part of the remote. Nothing moves. I hit all the buttons, nothing. WTF? So I shut it down using the power button on the remote. Hit that button again to get it started. Hit A at first screen. Language screen comes up. Can't do shit. WTF!!!!???? Now I'm getting pissed. All my excitement of being lucky enough to snag a Wii at Target was leaving me and I was worried I had a bad box or controller.

I look through the instructions and it says nothing. Put new batteries in the controller. Nope. Unplug the unit and turn it back on. Fuck! No. Stand up to look redo the sensor bar and I see something flash past the screen. WTF? I move my controller around and something flashes past again. I point at the screen with my controller and there is the arrow.

I'm such a dumbass sometimes

I set my friends' wii up right out of the box. no problems. other than the little stand pissing me off.

Imagine if you could hook them up in SLi or something.

I spent so much time looking for one I felt it was my duty to buy two "Just because I could."

Actually, I figured one of my friends would want one and if not I could sell it or whatever. Hell, I might even keep it and keep one in my bedroom and one for our kids. I haven't decided yet. It's just nice I have the choice!

i love how people were shitting on people buying ps3s to resell...but if it's the wii it's totally ok

 

[Me Being Me]

I swore I read somewhere that if you had two Wii's they could communicate with each other over the network and allow you to play local multiplayer games on two diff wii's (ie: two different TV's) all at once.

 

[classof2013]

If that is the case, I am absolutely keeping both

 

[etopro]

Wasn't me I don't blame anyone for selling something for a shitload more than you bought it for if you can get it. I

 

[daken]

I know you can import a Mii wirelessly from another wii. That would be awesome.

 

[lee d]

People who buy Wiis to resell are actually MORE retarded than PS3 scalpers. At least the the PS3 guys can make money.

 

[Southpaw16]

It's not fucking okay

I'm still trying to buy a Wii from retailers

 

[Fuzzlejr]

Most Wii's on ebay are going for around $450 or so. That's a $200 + profit after you add a ridiculous $45 shipping price to it.

That will get you a bunch of games and controllers.

Oh, the prices must've gone up since I last checked.
