GUYS YOU NEED TO READ THIS!

The software update is NOT THE ONLY THING THAT CAN BRICK the Wii U.

I was downloading FIFA 13, opened Miiverse and the console froze (for the 4th time in one day), after 10 minutes I shut it down. And it got BRICKED.

I REPEAT, DO NOT SHUT OFF YOUR Wii U WHILE DOWNLOADING ANYTHING!

IF YOU DOWNLOAD A GAME, JUST LEAVE THE CONSOLE ALONE, DON'T EVEN RISK BROWSING ON IT, IF THE CONSOLE FREEZES WHILE YOU'RE WRITING A MESSAGE, IT'S AS GOOD AS BRICKED.

Thank you Nintendo, for ruining my thanksgiving!
