I have been using a Sony Vega HD CRT for years, but decided to buy an LCD finally so I could have proper PC connections to run an HTPC without all the workarounds. I bought a cheap RCA, which actually looks a lot nicer than I expected for everything I have thrown at it so far... except the Wii. Apparently, one of the ways they were able to sell this TV so cheap is to skimp on the upscaler. So, after having been used to the beautiful visuals (for the Wii) of The Last Story, I was dismayed when I...

I'm wondering if there's anything in the way they market the games that would provide a clue. I've avoided Wii fever but do want to play the Mario Galaxy games and several old favorites on the Virtual Console. The new price is about right for me assuming my VC purchases will carry over to the next console.
) I don't have a ton of time to play these days, but there are a handful of titles I missed when they first came out that I would really like to play (like Uncharted 2), so I figured renting one game every month or so would be a better deal than buying. I checked out GameFly, but wasn't really impressed by their pricing, so I ended up signing up for Gamemine. Their pricing is better, but selection isn't so hot, there's a wait list for nearly everything I want, and I'd be...

I plugged just the power adapter back in (checking to make sure it was in securely and such). I plugged it into the surge protector. Still nothing. I tried another outlet in another room that I know works, still nothing. So I left it all unplugged for several days and tried again. Still no power at all. Should I see if I get it repaired or purchase a new power adapter?
Has anyone experienced their Wii's powering on by itself? We can go days if not weeks not playing the Wii, I will walk downstairs and see that the Power LED is Green. Just curious as to way and if anyone else has experienced this?
My Wii starts fine until I try to put a disc in. It tells me that it cannot read the disc, take the disc out, turn the Wii off, and consult the manual. Nothing in the manual is helpful. Anyone know what to do to fix this?
Often when I'm playing Wii, the console will shut itself off without any notice. When I feel the Wii it is pretty hot, so I think it may be an overheating issue. Has anyone else had this issue? If so is there a way to go through Nintendo for repairs for this problem?
I've run the custom Wii speed test from www.speedtest.net and it always shows around 2Mbps down and .30Mbps up. I currently have a 20Mbps down/2Mbps up Charter cable connection. It shows 20/2 most of the time on my PC and around 17/2 on my PS3. What's up with the Wii. I've did several Google searches on the subject. Is it an Opera browser limitation, Wii internet hardware thing or what? I have my Wii connected via USB/LAN to a Netgear WNDR3700 gigabit router and Motorola SB6120 cable...
