My DS is better for now.

[Chris8492]

Just great, right when i get back from school, turns out my cousins are at my house to go ice skating on the pond and they decided to use my Wii. The older one kept beating my younger cousin in SSBB. Next thing i know he begins crying like crazy and throws the Wiimote right at my darn Wii.

The whole thing doesn't work now. :(

I need to get a new one but thank god i saved all my games also on a memory card while i played them.

Have  you ever gotten your Wii trashed for some random reason/catastrophie?

I hope you give it a proper burial.

You should really make them or there parents pay for it or at least some of it - Well not in a rude way, but for doing that so inconsiderately to your console then yeah.

As to what you should do in the case that they won't just get one for 200$ again and you'll be fine. In the meanwhile, I recommend backtracking on any other systems you have. Maybe you'll get lucky off of a sale.

For systems that I've had break;
-NES (no idea how this one died it died the first few days after I got the hand-me-down last I recall)
-SNES (died after the months I had it for; ended up getting sold along with the NES. ;_; )
-Gamecube (Kept it on too much)
-DS Phat (Touch screen was rather irresponsive)
-PS3 (Save data bug)
-360 (RROD from borrowing it)

I second this STRONGLY. Hopefully it'll teach them a lesson.

The nly console to ever broke on me was my Gamecube.
I don't have much use for it now, anyway. I have a Wii.

That really sucks, my condolences.

I've only had two consoles break on me, and both instances had nothing to do with anyone other than the company that produced the consoles. I had a first generation ps2 and the lens busted so I just bought a slim. I had a first gen 360 and it RROD'd so Microsoft sent me a refurbished one only for it to break a week later. They sent me a brand new one as an apology, came with HDMI and everything. Too bad I still don't have an HD tv.

[Chris8492]

besides that, i only had my Xbox get the RROD with all four bars. I have no clue why, but i got and elite now and it's awesome.

I'm just thinking of paying for it myself. My aunt already has the burden of dealing him complaining, crying, and smacking on his door abnoctiously whenever he's in trouble. My younger cousin has a short fuse to anything. I can assure him im DEFINATELY not letting him use it AGAIN.

My SNES broke when my grandparents borrowed it. I think a power surge blew a fuse or something, because they used it once. >_>

Yeah they use a new type of motherboard that can actually withstand the heat the console produces for the newer 360's. I haven't heard of many people getting RROD with them.

[えっちーせんぱい]

How do you break a Wii by throwing a controller in it? There's nothing inside to break aside from the lens assembly.

[Thirdkoopa]

360 Elite? Yeah, I've heard some better things about that. I think after the summer/me not having the temp 360 anymore I may just go out and buy the Elite If It's cheap enough. I already have an HD and I don't feel like blowing another 300$ on a console I won't get the chance to play all too much.

On the other hand, 100$ or so for a used one sounds convincing. It's just that RROD...the horror stories ,_,

What? How old is he? He certainly deserves to be taught in some way or form. Maybe not paying for it himself but kids often remember these life lessons earlier on in life. Just not letting him use it doesn't fix other peoples worries; Even If you're paying for it yourself you should do something, or at the very least, tell your parents about the situation calmly so they can tell his parents. He may actually need to go through something If he's like that and a bit older.

I just really think it's a bad idea letting them run off like that even with paying for it yourself - But hey I don't know your real life so I'll let you judge. Just take the words into consideration.

MY first gamecube stoped working on me, my brother originally got it used from a friend, broke within a month or so. and then my brother also got a 360 used, broke in exactly one month and we couldnt use the gamestop warrenty, luckily i paid for it and microsoft swaped the inside with a brand new system and its all mine now. other then that my ps2 doesnt work, full of dust me thinks.

[Chris8492]

Well he's like 7 years old but he has serious (I mean SERIOUS) anger issues and is pretty spoiled :|

Well, I delt with the situation and it's handled right now. (I think they grounded him for a month). :| thats pretty long for a seven year old though. Also, he had his DS taken away for a while.

Ok, just got my new Wii today!  :)

Hopefully nothing else will happen that causes it to break. >:(

Okay, dude, put it inside a drawer or something so it doesn't get broken.
