gamepad starting to fail

[Jinks]

Was checking out netflix movies trying to find something to watch which is almost impossible with Canadian and looky here two cracks in the gamepad screen..

I got an expensive warranty from wall mart maybe it might be covered..

It works fine but...must be from tapping with pen throwing pikman on nintendoland..

Yeah.. don't tap too hard..

 

Try to return the unit, but don't ask for a new system. Ask them to simply swap the gamepads out. They should be able to do this by opening up a new system, giving you the new gamepad, then putting your defective one in the box (at least that's how we used to do it). I just hope the serial number of the game pad doesn't match the serial number of the system, otherwise you might be screwed. If they give you a new system, you will have to go through hell with Nintendo to get your digital downloads back, even those $60 games you said you purchased.

Ah hah! Finally I've found the culprit. Austin is traveling around the country, taking out working things from retail boxes, and putting defective parts back in to the retail box. That's why I repeated pay new prices for brand new stuff, then I get it home to find out someone has swapped out things like the new controllers that were supposed to be in my box with used, broken shit.

 

Just kidding, I know it isn't all Austin's fault

 

Sure, the open box is supposed to be removed from the sales floor and returned... but judging by the number of times I've been screwed these items are usually returned to the sales floor and resold to suckers like me.

 

Now I check in the store to make sure the items are factory sealed. You would be amazed at how many are not. It's interesting that this hasn't happened to me but once with Amazon and other online retailers, and when it did they shipped me a new sealed item and paid for the other item to be shipped back.

Haha! Well, I did omit the part of the process where the retailer then places said box into their "defective, send back" pile, but I figured it was a moot point.

I can buy a lcd for 50.00 on ebay as well..

Yeah I do have smbu nintendoland and nfsmwu downloaded I think thats it the rest are 59.99 games from wallmart.. two games tax in were over 130.00 at wallmart.

One of these day might see what they say at wallmart about the screen.

I have heard stories they crack just kinda one there own.. must not be near as strong as her dsixl screen. Which has no cracks 500x and the game time and way way more abuse.
