Hacking Brand new Dsi XL wont recognise games

[beejay247]

I bought a brand new DSI XL last month, it was great until this am when I inserted a game and the console did not play it, the button stated no game inserted even though the game was in the socket, I tried different games no response, I contacted nintendo and found out that it is not considered under warranty apparently because the warranty starts from when the retailer sells it,and presumably since I was not the primary buyer I was out of luck. They offered to repair it for $80, with shipping it will be $100 or so, that is a fair chunk of change for me, has any one had this problem, any suggestions on how to fix it would be appreciated

Edit: Whoops, didn't read correctly.

I registered mine on Club Nintendo, and that added an extra 90 days on it's warranty. Maybe you can do that?

WTF??? It's when you buy the DS XL that warranty is started... And it's supposed to be for 2 years! WTFH!!!
