Wii Overheated

The other day I was playing re4 on my Wii and noticed a bunch of green pixely dots....

Turns out my Wii overheated at some point and the GPU got damaged... Poor little Hollywood....

Anyways, today I called up Nintendo and the guy said he'd never heard of this problem. He actually put me on hold; he must have asked around about it or something. Anyways, we set up a repair...he gave me the option of the 'Advanced Replacement Program' (where they send me a Wii and hold my parent's credit card # till they get my Wii), but there was no definite guarantee of my nearly $40 worth of VC games to be redownloadable. So I didn't do that...

Anyways, the guy was nice about it, and once again, I'm extremely satisfied with Nintendo's Customer Service. They've always been great. My UPS shipping label's on the way in the mail now.

Here's what I'm seeing (no, I'm not very far along in the game )
