Well well well. My phone was ringing so, as usual, I checked the caller ID. Movie Gallery. Great, I thought, what overdue movie do I have out this time? Wrong, instead the wonderful voice on the other side asked if I still wanted a Nintendo Wii. Hmmm... I had to think hard on this one. I was in the habit of going to Superstore 3 times or more a day to see if a shipment has come in as I thought that that would be my best course of action. I had put my name on a list at Movie Gallery but I never thought I'd receive a call from them. Lo and behold the deed is done. I am now an owner of a Wii. I got Mario & Sonic Olympics, and extra Wii remote, and the classic controller. I would have got Zelda but I'm going to see how these games pan out. I'm on the lookout for another nunchuk but everyone's sold out of those as well. Oh, and the price was $249, 20 bucks cheaper then superstore and 30 bucks cheaper than best buy. W00T is just the word I need to use right now. w00t!
Update: I'm posting this from my Wii. I went out and got the internet channel. I love this thing!

w00t!
glad to here you finally found a wii. was the internet channel still free or do they charge for it now? and if you are looking for a cheap fun shooter, along the lines of the old sega on-rails shooters, Ghost Squad is surprisingly fun. And only $29.99.
the wii channel was 500
the wii channel was 500 points... so $5.00. I picked up Zelda: Twiglight Princess and it's awesome. Beautiful game. I'm also going to return Mario & Sonic Olympics since I haven't opened it yet. I'm working on getting my wife hooked on Wii Sports and then I want her to pick a game. Maybe we'll stick with Mario & Sonic Olympics at that time or maybe get something like Mario Party 8 or Boogie. Something fun and party like.
mario and sonic is not too
mario and sonic is not too bad. but mario party is really good. its lots of fun to play 4 player. and people say warioware is great too, but i rented it, and meh.
