[quote name='Z-Saber']Upon exiting the Wii Shop today, the console froze. The Wiimote was able to turn on and off, reconnecting to the console and everything, but the Wii froze. Had to hold the button down on it until the light went red. Started it back up with no issues.[/QUOTE]
I had the same thing happen when I closed the Mii Channel tonight. The screen just went blank. I was able to eject a disc, and, eventually, I just held the power button down to turn it off. Came back up fine. It seems maybe there are some glitches in channel closing. Hopefully it won't happen too often. My family has logged a ton of hours on the thing in the last 2 days and that was the only glitch so far. I'd rather have it happen there than during a game, but I'm definitely keeping an eye on it.
Same thing with the Wiimotes as Z-Saber saw - they seemed to be responding to the console (as was the disc eject), so it wasn't a "hard" freeze. But the power button on the remote didn't work and NEITHER DID THE RESET on the system, which is a bit wierd.
