Title: There is NO way someone could do this.

A women inserts not one, not two, but THREE credit cards into her families Wii in an attempt to be able to buy Virtual Console games.  :|

There are five pages worth of similar stories, all of which are stories about people who just don't know how to read the manual or don't understand technology.

Have you ever experienced stuff like this in real life?

That's hilarious. I saw a woman put bills into a gumball machine, but not anything that dumb.

From what I've heard, Sony originally planned to have the PS1 play DVDs, but it would have been too expensive, DVDs were only invented the year before.

I find it so hard to believe, yet I still do.
People are that stupid these days.

My friends are always asking me how to get their Wii online, which is annoying because it really isn't that hard.
I've got like 5 friends with Wiis, but I can't ever play online with them because they gave up trying to get it online...

The next Nintendo systerm that uses a Slot-Loading drive, will have a picture of the console with a card sticking out of the slot with a nice red X across it in the manual; 5 dollars.

I remember seeing a post a day or two after the Wii came out that said something like

"I tried putting a dollar in it and it came out as two halves"


What else would someone shove in there? D:

I read that on NS2.
That is pretty stupid. My mom knows nothing about games and technology, but I doubt she would even do something THAT stupid.
Maybe they need to put a "Do not insert credit cards into disc slot" warning on the Shop Channel...

This is even worse than when new Wii users blammed Nintendo for their over-enthusiasm.

This moment shall go down in Wii history.

That's because no one bought the GameCube. I'm sure Sony was getting some pretty weird calls.

What exactly does that paperclip thing do, besides ruining a DS?

I'm getting the feeling that some of the warnings in the Japanese manuals are just to make fun of stupid Americans who probably attempted that at some point.

I remember an instance where someone I knew tried putting their PS2 disc into their 360. They said that they were wondering why the disc wasn't working, since the 360 has backward capabilities...

Some people are just born dumb, imo...

He should have told her to put in her credit card number.... also the idiot mom should have read the screen.

Bestselling, yes. Great library, yes.

But does it have Luigi's Mansion, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart, and Windwaker?
