    Anyone else get a Wii?

    My dad's big Christmas present for the family this year is a brand new Nintendo Wii! We just got it today at about 12:00 PM. The last one in stock at Best Buy! Unfortunately, we couldn't find any extra controllers at any of the seven stores we went to, so I guess we'll have to fare with one until the rush dies down a little and more are in stock. Also purchased was The Legend of Zelda- Twilight Princess, a 1 GB SD card, and a 2-yr. warranty from Best Buy. Anyone else get one? What games did you get?

    Re: Anyone else get a Wii?

    @ Aleesha- how's the 360?

    @ twiztard- it's really nice. You're going to want to play it a lot, LOL.

    @ Rascal- I only played the Zelda for 30 mins, so I cannot tell you much, but it's very nice. You move with the analog on the nunchuck, and it tells you which buttons to press when faced with an obstacle, running, on the horse, etc. It's similar to other Zeldas, I suppose, but unique. Wii Sports is also fun.. pretty realistic motions.

    @ Everyone- I haven't had a chance to go on the internet through it yet (have connected, though, so I can), but I did check the weather. It's pretty nice. Up to 5-day forecast, a map of the region that you can survey with the Wii Remote, etc... Another cool thing is that on the message board (like refrigerator notes except on the Wii) the Wii sends you little info. such as how much you've played that day and how much you played each game. So far, I'm loving this thing!!

    Re: Anyone else get a Wii?

    hehe cool. My younger cousin got one. They are good for kids, just nintendo games in general. I have an xbox 360. I've called many a "sick day" from staying up all night playing online. I've played in and won MLG(major league gaming) tournaments, which is basically getting payed to be a nerd.
