Wii in Australia thread

[Ekiushi]

Big W refused to give you your money back? You didn't do it right then. I got my money back when my Wii decided to screw up - and they didn't have any Wiis in stock. In fact, I've got money back on a DVD boxset that cost like $60 before - when they had no more in stock. Of course, they might say 'No, we don't do that for wrong selection,' But you don't really need to explain why you are returning it, you just are.

Next time scream and rage. Maybe it doesn't help, but it makes you feel better. But its not right for them to refuse to give your money back, even though you returned it a few days later, and most likely unused. I also believe you could claim you parents asked for 'Resident Evil 4' and was given the wrong game, therefore its not exactly a change of mind. How are parents meant to know it was the wrong game? It seems entirely the fault of the person who sold it to you. You should have got your money back.

Places always try and screw you over. Big W always tries it. Depends on the store, and who you talk to, I guess. In Ballina Big W they once refused to take back an item my Mum bought, they said she would have to send it off to the supplier. I took a similar item to another Big W and they exchanged it straight away. I worked at Woolies - ranting and raving helps. While it doesn't ALWAYS - there are occasions when it does.

If I don't have online can people still send stuff to me? I know it's unlikely but meh :wink:

 

[Deanis]

I'd say not... we'd need your Wii's online code, it wouldnt work...

You have to have your wii connected to the internet in order for people to send you things. You can find out your wii console number without being connected, but without the connection it is useles.

Where did you people get your wireless routers and how much was it? (AUD of course)

 

[Oceanic]

I got my wireless router from www.umart.com.au. It's a linksys wrg54g or something close to that. I saw it advertised in the WOW sight and sound catalogue for $69, that's very cheap for a good router! Let me know if you want any advice on them, I've done heaps of searching for good ones.

Yes Big W refused to refund the game, I am never EVER going to shop there (unless if its the only one in 1000km, but thats beside the point). Damn i need to chill, too much pessimism.

Hmm, I was going to try get RE4 again today (along with trading some other wii games so I have sufficient funds). But no, NO NO NO, god must hate me. It seems that my little brother is "sick" and now im stuck home all day looking after him. I dont think he is sick at all, that little thing must have faked it in the morning. Plus I had to wake up at the ungodly hour of 6 AM!!! Eugh he is jumping all over me now, his breath smells of chocolate.

Oceanic, send me some friend vouchers and ill send you some in return. Its looking good!

EDIT: the clock system in this servor is completely screwed up. The above post was requested at Today, 12:28 AM, and mine was requested at Today, 11:06 AM. HOW DOES THAT WORK!!

EDIT: Oh now that you mention it, hmmm i wonder what oceanic would be doing so early in the morning..........

Ok sorry but it does make sense 12:28am is 28 minutes past midnight, midnight being the start of a new day and you posted at 11:06am which is near midday, at midday its 12:00pm. Hopefully that made sense...

Anyhoo SMG just go the 60 stars and I got to say if that's the final I'm a bit disappointed. Oh yeah spoiler tags:

Where's the unnatural transformation, where's the fusing with planet to become ultra super hard bower? But most importantly where's the challenge? gahhhh a final boss is meant to leave you feeling accomplished not a thirst for something more (unless of course there is some secret boss/the true ending is revealed when you collect all the stars). I knows it a Mario game but that shouldn't be an excuse, TP had a satisfying final battle; possessed Zelda then the giant beast Ganon, Ganandorf on horseback and then a final showdown. What did SMG have though? Fighting Bowser the same way you have throughout the entire game just three times and some slight variation. No awesome super humongous transformation just Bowser....Disappointment plus.

Apollo, check out your nearest EB. I grabbed RE4 from them in Perth for $59, and have since seen it at a few other stores at the same price. Hope that might lessen your pain somewhat.

The pricetag at EB's is somewhat high, I am trying to get it for perhaps $20 cheaper as it is essentially an enhanced port. I dont mind if its secondhand or not. Last time I saw a copy at JB HI FI in the city it was for $46 secondhanded. I would only use EB's as a last resort because it is simply expensive and the nearest store is rather far. Thanks for the advice though.

Is NFS: Pro Street any good? A friend of mine got it for free with his Wii from GAME.

 

[Ekiushi]

I saw it at Big W (I know I'm not helping) for $78. I was tempted to buy it - but instead I got Metroid Prime 3. I looked in EB Games too and I saw RE4 for about the same price as Big W - however, EBs was secondhand.

 

[AndThen?]

I went to JB's today, and looked for Metroid Prime 3, but I couldn't find it ANYWHERE. I didn't think it sold that well, and there were about 50, (yes, 50), SMG games. I don't know if I missed it or what, but I was damn pissed off.
