Cowboom DOD: Gaming consoles Wii 40$ +ship

**Just a warning for people.** You have to be careful buying refurbed or used Wii's just like buying old Xbox 360's that would red ring. Wii's had the problem with their internal wifi overheating when the Wii was left in standby mode. This would damage the graphics processor and would create different levels of artifacting on the screen depending on how bad it got messed up. The screen will have spots that flicker and drop out and kind of look like the messed up screen of an NES when you would put a cartridge in that needed to be blown on and there would be weird colored pixelized squares.

I think I'll have to agree with this. Only recently I turned ON wi-fi (almost 3 yrs since purchasing this unit) to take advantage of the $5 amazon instant video credit. Ever since, my Wii seems to switch itself from stand-by (orange color) to green automatically. It would keep spinning and be so hot to touch. Since it kept happening almost every day, I turned OFF the wi-fi again. Now the led light shows "red" when turned off and I have no more issues. Glad I found it quickly before the graphics processor got burned.

Meh, lot of stuff not included in the box...hardly seems worth it. Reps to the OP anyways!

Agreed, not worth the time & effort to track everything down.

did you search thru' the numerous pages available thru' the Chrome Watcher's list? There are plenty of them with the main things in them. As long as you can find these, you should be good: Console, Nunchuk, Remote, Sensor Bar, Adapter and the AV cable. The rest of the accessories are cheap to find on ebay or elsewhere. I found a few of them that had all the above and with grade 5. Found a couple with grade 6 but they don't have nunchuk.

The wii is a great little Netflix box, and if you soft-mod it, its makes a good media streamer. I take one on vacations/trips just for this purpose. Thinking of getting another one for a bedroom netflix streamer...

Do you have any Guide/URL for that?

Saw a grade 6 with pretty much everything but missed it.

Whats included?

Nothing.

An empty box for $40? I'm in!

Considering that an Xbox 360, PS3, Roku, or BD unit makes for a ridiculously better streaming device at about the same cost, this isn't much of a deal.
