Unbelievable: Woman actually sticks 3 credit cards in Wii, breaks the system
December 29th, 2008 Posted in News, Wii, Written by ValayThis story may explain why Nintendo is overly careful with the casual audience and has announced services to help them out with technical procedures. One woman who purchased a Wii for her children this Christmas jammed not one, not two, but three credit cards into the system. The woman had asked a neighbor about the Wii, as she only purchased a few controllers with the console. Inquired about which games are recommended, the neighbor suggested purchasing a few retail games in addition to classic games from the Wii Virtual Console.
Naturally, the woman was also unclear about how the VC works, and the neighbor noted that “all she needed to do was put in her credit card when prompted on the Shop Channel.”
It shouldn’t be a surprise what happened here. The woman later called up the neighbor, and complained that the Wii wasn’t working.
What did she do? She put three credit cards into the Wii disc slot. You might be wondering why she put in three. She put the first one in, thinking it couldn’t be accepted, so she tried two other credit cards.
Apparently the woman is now expecting the neighbor to pay for the damages. You can take this story for what it is, though. I don’t necessarily think that this was fabricated, but there are no pictures to prove otherwise.

I worked as a Nintendo customer service representative for 2 years and this sounds completely plausible.
There are some honest-to-God morons out there. And they have credit cards.
I’m surprised there aren’t more stories out there of crazy stuff people have jammed in the Wii.

It baffles me how some people even manage to get their shoes on in the morning! Although this sounds like the sort of person who if you said to them “Tie your shoelaces” she’d ask “What to?”
