Yeah, anything can crash. I crashed in Red Steel at one point, but that game is relatively buggy sometimes.

Like most "first batch" of consoles there are usually some issues that appear. As I'm sure most of you have realized the ventilation is pretty average especially when you're killing the Wii for hours (thank god it's not black!).
I ditched the stand fast because I'd much rather the air flow than it stand up and i've had no issues in Wii sports or Zelda.
Awesome thing though is that if the freeze faults are not failing hardware they should be able to fix some issues with firmware updates.

Blasphemy.

If heating really did become a large issue, Nintendo or a Third-Party company would develop some way of cooling it.

haha, yeah I felt dirty doing it...
Anyone that owns a PSTwo will know the issues it has with heat, and thermaltake introduced a fan for it so time will tell.

Mine has only frozen twice while it was loading Wii Play. I got **** scared. The drive was making funny noises and then the Wii stopped responding. I turned it off and on again and after the 3rd go it started working normally again.

I played it 12 hours solid Saturday and had no crashes. Hasn't crashed yet, and I've used the photo channel, wii shop, messed with memory management and played only wiisports and wiiplay.

All this news of freezing and crashing is starting to concern me. You think it could be a software or hardware malfunction? Because I'd really hate to get news from Nintendo that these consoles are faulty and have to wait even longer to get a proper Wii

Sometimes when I put the CD in it makes a weird noise. And if I play it I get an error message telling me to eject the CD and turn the power off.

I think it is to do with putting a CD in when its in stand by mode.

DO you? i've never had a peice of equipment crash (touch wood). Thats the problem with buying first batches. I my wii crashed once i'd take it back, if the next one did i'd do it again and agian and again, until i had a crash, glitch free system.

Crashing is VERY rarely fixed with an up date Noobdog, its almost always due to heating problems

Right you are it would only be fixed with an update if it was a bug but if it was crashing it could be from anything!
