I'm can't really answer that but from personal experience it would be 50% because my first one had disk read errors but then the second one has been perfect all along. :D2. It depends on the game. Red Steel can really lag on me sometimes but games like Super Mario Galaxy barely lags.3. There's the disk read error and there's this error when the (I think) Graphics card starts to ware/wear (I don't know :D)out and starts to cause graphical problems. There's probally more but I haven't really heard of them.4. I was playing a gamecube game and i pulled on the cable (oops... :D) and the Wii tipped of a about half a meter high table. I got an error message upon impact with the ground. But a quick turn off and on and reload the disk and things were working perfectly. So I guess it is. :D5. Some shops (If you live in Australia) such as Dick Smith (could be worldwide but I don't know) they offer somehting where you pay them an extra AUS$50 and you get a 3 year warrenty but that depends from shop to shop but most shops probally wouldn't offer this.6. Yep, the first console was stuffed from when I got it, second console is working fine with no problems. :D7. If i'm right about the whole graphics starting to screw up I guess that's a early sign of defection but other then that, it's stuffed form when you first buy it. But I've heard a few cases where having WiiConnect24 on 24/7 can cause overheating problems but I can't 100% confirm that.Those questions weren't easy!!! :D
Yeah I never use Wii Connect anyway, dont have an internet connection to my Wii. Hmm I wish I could of bought a store warranty with my Wii, because the store I bought it from actually did offer me one. Do you think the store I bought it from would allow me to purchase a 3 year warrant NOW?.....3 months after purchasing from that store?

But I doubt you can.

I will give them a call tomorrow, see what they say.

You could add the 3 months but they wouldn't know if you actually got the extra months or not.
Yeah I guess so ^^^^Anybody else feel free to answer the questions I have asked, much appreciated!

1. We would have no way of really knowing that - though, mine has worked perfectly since launch...
2. Never
3. I've heard of the console freezing, but other than that - nothing...
4. Yup, like all Nintendo hardware
5. You can extend it through a retailer - I don't know about through Nintendo though..
6. Nah
7. Could be any number of things... (freezing, error messages, overheating, etc.)
1. Way less than 1%2. No.3. Sometimes people get different colored dots on their screen, like blue or red dots. Barely ever happens though.4. Yeah5. Not sure..6. One time it made this loud buzzing noise a couple of months ago, I restarted it and it hasn't happend since.7. Overheating while on standby.
1. Less than 1%.
2. Depends on the games, its not an issue of the console, its an issue of the game -- happens to me in GH3 online sometimes
3. Errors can include internet connection errors, and in rare cases corrupt memory errors.
4. Yes its very durable
5. Theirs no other way to extend it, however if your Wii breaks down within that time period, they'll send you a new Wii along with a new 1 year warrenty.
6. Yes i have, two of mine broke (i was unlucky, most people have their first one) -- first one got overheated by WC24, second one they sent me was broken when i got it, the disc drive was VERY loud
7. Early signs? Well if its overheated you'll see flashing dead pixels on the screen. Watch out for a LOUD disc drive (loud enough that u can hear it over ur tv)
wii does have a few bugs with it . for me i hear this sound in the disc drink its like clunk cliunk for like 1 min and they it says disc read error . when i put in the game agian then it works fine . also some times i get these colour green dots that go on the screen for a few means. its not stuck pixels cus i use a Tube tv with dont have pixels .
[QUOTE=''Speedy454545''] 1. What % failure rate does this console have?very low i think. mine hasnt failed on me since i got it launch day.2. Do you find when your playing a game sometimes you will get a very quick lag spike?Is this something to worry about? (Note that it does not happen very often) its never happened to me.3. What sort of errors occur on this console? (For example stuff similar to the Red Ring of Death on the 360) it only froze on me a couple of times during a game.4. Is the Wii very durable? i dunno about the console itself but the controller can take a [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IevMrQMp-to]beating[/url]5. Nintendo gives us a 1 year warranty on the Wii, and an extra few months if you enter your code on their website. Is there anyway to extend the warranty even further? im sure there is a way, but im not certain.6. Have you ever experienced any technichal difficulties with your Wii Console? other than a few games freezing up, no not really.7. What are the early signs of your Wii being defective? ive never had a defective wii butThanks in advance guys....Instead of making seperate threads I thought I would ask all my questions in this one thread :)[/QUOTE]

(Note that it does not happen very often)(depends on the game, though not many have issues, if any.)3. What sort of errors occur on this console? (For example stuff similar to the Red Ring of Death on the 360)( a commen one is due to the lack of a visible disk drive, putting in the disks backwards, if this happens flip the disk over and stick it back in, if it still hapens contact nintendo)4.
