That's encouraging, since I bit the bullet today and bought a new 'box.Quote:

Hardware deaths are so very sad...:(
Well, put me on the list of those who had their launch GC die on them.
Mine went on the blink the first week I bought Sunshine. The motor pooped out and wouldn't spin the disk anymore. As has been stated before, Nintendo covers their equipment for one year from purchase (so I'm guessing all those cubes bought on launch day are out of luck) and include free shipping, so I was able to get it fixed and back to me in ten days. It's the only system of mine to die.
Too bad, it took all my inspiration to get all 120 shines along with it.
Well, i was going to post, then i read yours. I then i noticed you wrote everything i was going to say. Launch system, Marios Sunshine week, and the nifty one year warrenty. Only thing different is that it only took 5 days for me to get it a "new" refurbished one from nintendo.Quote:

I put a 2 year warranty down on my GC. I know better than to play the cards with systems these days. ESA's really don't cost that much. They're worth the security.
