12
According to the statement, Nintendo has received complaints from Smash Bros. Brawl buyers of the Wii being unable to read their newly bought disc, or of videos chopping up during playback. These users claim to have had no such problems with past games.

Nintendos' CS has always been top notch. To bad this hiccup happened but they are nice enough to make things right

Hmm.. FREE WII CLEANING.. nice.

Mine prolly has some dust on it too so that would be in order. I would love for Nintendo to simply put a product out on the market that would clean the lens. i mean i would buy it and i don't trust the dvd drive cleaners out there now.. they are a bit fishy to me.

That's what I was thinking. What a random culprit to list as a reason for the error.

In other news, millions of Japanese Wii-owning smokers have switched to chewing tobacco.
