Let us all agree that playstation 3 and its 600 force of blu ray down our throat should die a horrible horrible death! Yes.

That said the controller makes these games very cool.

Currently playing gears of war, which one the baddest games ever. I want marvel utlimate alliance, but until I win GoW and Splinter Cell 4 i must restrain from buying new games. Plust WoW must be played! And damn you Rainbow Six which is coming out soon as well. But the Wii is tempting me. I may have to wait though.

Metroid and Smash Bros don't come out til March so Ultimate Alliance or Red Steel are probably next. I was 76 out of 102 at Best Buy (only $250). If you want graphics go with something else, but it definitely takes the cake in fun and innovation. Me and the hot roommate were playing video game tennis for a while tonight swinging the controllers all over the place. And for boxing (it comes with a sports game that has tennis, golf, bowling, baseball, and boxing), you're jabbin away with a wireless controller in each hand. Good times. I was getting a serious workout hacking away at things in Zelda. Plus to shoot the bow you pull the controller back, then click the button and the speaker on the controller lets out a twang and rumbles a bit. And the absolute best part, for $5 I can download any original Nintendo game right to the Wii. For $8 I can get SNES or 64. It's even got ports to plug in the Gamecube controllers. I've been avoiding video games for obvious reasons out here, but I'm not going to see the sun for weeks. Steve - I'll be bringing it home for Xmas since it's only the size of a really thick DVD box.
