DazzeL Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 As some of you may know I managed to break my Wii a couple of months ago - much to my own sadness! However, I'm now in a position where I could possibly afford to replace it. Anyone know of places offering particuarly good deals? Would you risk a pre-owned Wii? Any advice appreciated! The games I'm interested in are Guitar Hero 3, Sonic and Mario, Mario Kart, Smash.

But if you got it chipped or something then there's nothing you can do.
Bren Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 Would you risk a pre-owned Wii?. store bought pre-owned comes with warranty, there is no risk!
nightwolf Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 store bought pre-owned comes with warranty, there is no risk! +1 gamestation also can give you extended warranties (so you can get 2 years I think rather than 1?) on pre-owned consoles or they did last time I asked!
Ashley Posted August 26, 2008 Posted August 26, 2008 +1 gamestation also can give you extended warranties (so you can get 2 years I think rather than 1?) on pre-owned consoles or they did last time I asked! lol its Game's extended warranty scheme actually, Gamestation just were added to it during the acquisition. Yes. Pre-owned extended warranty which includes all manufacturers and accidental damage (to every part; console, remote, AC adaptor etc). For the Wii its £20 for 2 years, £30 for 3 years. Obviously if you have to claim off it then you have to pay again. Not that I had to remember the full details and beat it into my staff and give a three hour presentation on it or anything...
