Just in case you didn't know, "Wii" is pronounced like "we".

Please spell

Some people like gameplay more than graphics. Matter of choice.

Maybe this person specifically likes Nintendo games and wanted a console for it

It's all a matter of preference, #3. I do agree about stripping the wires and splicing them back together though. But it could also end up frying the entire system and then OP has a whole new set of problems.

Also, unplug the unit first :)

#9 where's the fun in that?

Heh. Butt splice.

Literally one of the best comments I've seen on here in a while.

But that means more money for the competitor.

Yep, this is what I have to do for all my wires. My cat likes chewing the rubber coating, for some reason. Probably because he's either crazy or has a death wish. But that bitter Apple stuff helps!

Do NOT put bitter apple on the new wires. Citrus can and will kill your cat.

#25 The amount you would apply to the wires would not be enough to harm the cat. Also the point is that unless the cat is extremely stupid it won't continue chewing the wires after tasting the bitter apple, because it's bitter.

Thats a lame reason to get rid of a cat. Because of an electronic device..please.
