oh what
So my copy of Xenoblade Chronicles came on Friday and this morning I put aside time to start it. Aaaaand the Wii wouldn't read the disc. It would read other discs, however, so I called the 800 number. It turns out the Xenoblade disc is a double-layer disc, etc. etc., and so some Wiis have difficulty reading the format. It usually means the lens needs to be cleaned or replaced.
But, since my Wii is only failing to read that particular disc, this apparently counts as a problem I can have fixed for free! (However, if the Wii had ceased to read discs altogether, I would've had to pay for repairs/shipping, which totaled around $100CAD. Yikes, close call.)
Anyway, I guess I lucked out? However, this still means I have to ship everything out, and the whole process of shipping and repairs takes around 10 days, so I won't be starting Xenoblade any time soon. What matters, though, is that:
a) I didn't have to pay a bunch of additional money, and
b) I'll have time to finish Tales of Graces first.
I am side-questing to death in said game and it's the best.
I realize my LJ is primarily videogame TL;DR while my Tumblr is for internet nonsense and Homestuck, but I would also like to mention that I got my totally awesome red Converse hightops in the mail yesterday and my Eclectica Jade costume is henceforth complete. Yaaaaay.
I'm going to commandeer my lovely friend Kamala's photography skills and hopefully get some nice pictures of the cosplay before I go to the con in May. :>
(Said con is Otafest, if anyone on my f-list is from Calgary and might be going. I can't remember, sob. If you're going, PM meeee.)
