Just received as a birthday gift last month and the family time has been awesome. Both my wife and I are extremely competive and love challenging each other, especially bowling where she "owns me". It's been fun and can't wait to see what new games we can play together. I, too, waited too long to get the Wii. Just received as a birthday gift last month and the family time has been awesome.

So far I'm loving it - especially playing Mario Kart and Samba De Amigo with my wife. Good post! Interesting thoughts.

My wife never used to like to game know I cant get her away from it which is awesome as it always bugged me that she did not play with me. Its great fun for the whole family, keeps us fit, mentally stimulated and out of trouble. Its funny that you say this about the Wii.

Luckily, my wife spent a few weeks in NYC and found one up there for 250 plus tax! Since this is my first video game system since the Atari 2600, I'm psyched!! Great investment!

I will look into Zack and Wiki! Thanks for the headsup :) PersonallyFinanced: They are all $250 now so you can just go to bestbuy or gamestop to get one. Maybe the $400 is a bundle? I know Costco sells a bundle when it is in stock. the baglady: Nintendo definitely has many good things going on right now!
