A Wii Mishap No One Can Top
So recently NeoGaf member Huelen 10 (who you might know from our forums as well) posted probably one of the absurd stories of a blunder his neighbor’s mom went through while tiring to put her credit card info onto to the Wii in order to buy a VC game.
Still don’t get it?
I’ll let the story speak for itself:
Here is one that I have to tell right now. because it just happened like 15 minutes ago and it fails SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard.
My neighbors which I don’t really know to well to begin with, got their kids a Wii for Xmas. They got no games for it, but they did get a Classic Controller as well as an additional Nunchuck Combo and a carrying case. They asked me what games they recommended, and I decided to recommend them the Animal Crossing City Folk/Wii Speak bundle, Wario Land Shake It,Mario Kart Wii, and Super mario Galaxy. I also recommended them some VC games including Super mario World, and Sonic 2 8-bit.
Anywho, the Mom asks me what VC is, and I told her. I told her that all she needed to do was put in her credit card when prompted on the Shop Channel, and get the amount of points she wanted. I also told her what WiiSpeak is, and how to connect her Wii to the internet via an ethernet connection.
Anywho, I got a call today from the mom telling me that the Wii is not working. I asked what was wrong and you won’t believe it………
SHE PHYSICALLY PUT 3 CREDIT CARDS INTO THE DISC SLOT.
HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!Also while putting the Wii Speak on top of her sensor bar, she apparently cracked it open. Just ugh. I told her she has to cancel her cards and call Nintendo for a 75USD repair, and now she expects ME to pay for this. Her husband is on my side of the issue, but she is steaming at me right now. Seriously, she put in 1, and thought that that one could not be accepted, so she kept putting them in and they will not come out. I might try to remove them tomorrow with her hubby while she is away on a business trip. The dude’s cool, but **** the wife…
Haha wow. I thought she was stupid at first, but then she’s blaming you for it.
Sucks.
Eww.
In all fairness to the mom, the slot IS big enough for at least three credit cards.
I could see someone who is unexperienced with technology putting in one, but to keep going and put in three? Is she TRYING to mess with you?
I lol’d so hard. I even told my dad and he lol’d.
Holy crap. That’s what you get when you appeal to “casual” gamers.
Kotaku actually did an article about this.

“Disc slot? what goes in here? Disks? No… CREDIT CARDS!”
but then she blamed the neighbor? WTH?
Dsinger, LOL. Let me try and imagine.
“This is why the wii must have internet, for credit card transications! I want to devide the cost betwean each card…”
