So I called the Technical help line of Nintendo...

[dawngaward0110]

AND IT TOOK loving FOREVER.
Me: *Dials number*
Nintendo: *Abnormally high pitched voice* Welcome at Nintendo. Thanks for calling our automatic help line on Technical sections. If you need help with some Wii game (?), press 1. If you need help with a DS game, press 2. If you would like to repeat, press 9.
(long silence)
Nintendo: .....If you got confused in what wire goes in which port, press 3. If something is wrong with your console, press................4.
Me: *Pressed 4*
Nintendo: *hangs up on me*
Me: *Calls number again*
Nintendo: Welcome at Ninte-
Me: *Presses 4 immediently*
Nintendo: We are now forwarding you to someone who-
(silence, again.)
Nintendo: Hello?
Me: Yes hello, I wanted to call for a problem with my Wii.
Nintendo: What's the problem?
Me: It wont read the discs.
Nintendo: Put in the disc with the color side on your right.
Me: I've done that.
Nintendo: Oh. Is the power cable in?
Me: Yes. If it wasn't in, it wouldn't even accept the disc. *sigh*
Nintendo: Try ejecting and putting the disc back in.
Me: I already did that.
Nintendo: Do it again
Me: Sure. (...) No luck.
Nintendo: Hmm. Let me forward you to someone else.
Me: Dammit-
*beep beep beep* *Crappy forwarding music*
Nintendo: Hello?
Me: Hello-
Nintendo: He- He- Hello?!
Me: Yes hello.
Nintendo: YOUR WII WONT READ DISCS? (Talks abnormally loud)
Me: It doesn't read them.
Nintendo: TRY PUTTING THE DISC IN WITH THE COLOR SIDE ON YOUR RIGHT
Me: I already did that
Nintendo: TRY IT AGAIN.
Me: Still no luck.
Nintendo: YOU NEED TO SEND YOUR WII TO THE OFFICIAL NINTENDO BUILDING. THE ADDRESS IS ON THE WEBSITE SUPPORT PAGE.
Me: I see it.
Nintendo: DO YOU STILL HAVE WARRANTY?
Me: No.
Nintendo: THEN IT WILL COST YOU 139 BUCKS IN TOTAL.
Me: (Dammit.) Ok then. Thanks.
Nintendo: *beeeep, beeep, beeep*

Jeez. It took so long. And I got forwarded like 4 times, which I didn't write here. And what also bugs me, it said on the site the repairs would've cost 78 bucks without warranty. *sigh*
I wish I could work there. Troll everyone who calls. Lol.

Have you tried putting the disc in with the colored side facing your right?

[Kevdude]

Only Wii, PS3 has pretty good costumer support. I don't know about Xbox

Nintendo: Put in the disc with the color side on your right.
Nintendo: Is the power cable in?

It sounds insulting, but you'd be surprised at the number of idiots that this works for.

At least the Nintendo help line actually HELPS you. Well, they try. All Microsoft does is nothing.

This.
But since of this "expanded audience" crap, nintendo now has a bigger amount of customers, and this means more idiots,this includes old women who can't seem to be able to put batteries in the remote.
