    This could be a good thing if you have a cockroach problem I guess, you could leave the Wii on all night, lay some acid or whatever around it, wake up, no cockroach problem. :p

    the Wii is the most wanted console ever...

    even cockroaches want one:hehe:

    honestly, someone who researches something like that got too much time, give him a wii... oh wait no, better a xbox360... we dont want to be sued for supporting cockroaches:D

    I like cockroaches, their not as soft and fluffy as mice and rats but I love them just the same.

    This actually is possible.. b/c idk if you all ever had to clean out an old trailer or any thing. but tvs radios, phones and other stuff in there are usually riddled with bugs...

    thank god they dont have cockroaches where i live. not that I have a wii, but still, dealing with mountian lions at the outskirts of town is bad enough.

    Assuming that electrical noise is the cause of this pest problem, and seeing as the Wii requires a TV to actually be enjoyed, it makes sense to believe that the TV would likely be a possible culprit too seeing as the amount of electronics inside is equivalent in dimensions if not larger than a Wii.

    yes but people have been using tv's for how many decades now? if tv's attracted cockroaches i think it would be well documented by now.

    At least the Wii draws less than 20 watts, max., from the wall. Now that's impressive.
    (queue PS3 power draw joke)

    TVs do attract roaches. I've junked two from roaches shorting things after I bought them second (or third, or whatever) hand.

    Is that a polite way of saying that fat chicks will like it?

    Mountain Lions, also known as cougars are quite common in parts of canada.
