Last night (Nov 1 I waited five hours at Wal-Mart to get a Wii. I was 17th in
line out of 20. Once I paid for my Wii, I got in my car and came home.
I took everything out and started to set everything up. Once I got
everything set up, problems arose.

First
of all, when I turned on my Wii, the first thing that came up was a
menu asking to insert the Start-Up Disc. I didn't know a Start-Up disc
existed, but I searched through my box for it, many, many times. When I
couldn't find it, I came onto Gamespot and made a thread about it. Not
many people believed me because they said no such disc existed. So then
I posted these pictures.

At
this point, most people believed me but they didn't know what I should
do about it. I called Nintendo but it was past business hours so I went
to sleep, although it did take me awhile.

The next morning, I
woke up and called Nintendo and talked to a rep. I told her about the
menu asking for a Start-Up Disc and she was baffled. So to make up for
it, they are sending me another brand new console in the mail by UPS
(2-day shipping).

After this, my dad decided to post about
this on the IGN boards. Most people over there didn't believe him
either. He also told them how Nintendo probably planned to use a
Start-Up Disc because of these pictures shown below.

As
you can see, Nintendo planned to have a Start-Up Disc at one point in
time of the Wii's production. Last night I was pretty pissed, but now
I'm not all that mad. I got to play the Wii at my friend's house and I
had a blast. The one thing I'm kinda hoping is that maybe Nintendo will
send a free game or a gift with the new console as a 'sorry' for what
happened. So, there's my crazy story about my Wii.
