Wii's are brilliant, just get one, you will love it ! .
I have ps2 xbox / xbox 360 and Wii. The graphics are not quite as good as the PS3/xbox 360, but the games are lots of fun

Runs out of batterys reasonably quickly but its great, you do get used to using it.
At times can be a little bugger and not show up correctly if you have the sensor bar placed wrong, but overall it works really well. Just dont try to enter a 64 character WPA key into it :P

Wii is great. Wii Sports is fantastic with friends over, and the best games are coming out now, such as Mario Galaxy, Metroid 3 etc...
Get a set of rechargeable batteries and charger for the remote, and try to get it online if you can as well. Anybody downloaded the check mii out channel yet ![]()

Ive got one. There really cool. Ive got 2 sisters and its good because it gets them playing so it seems like the console just gets used more and gets the whole family involved. Which I think was the point from the begining.

As for the Wii is great because 1) Everyone can play - its very easy 2) Its a social thing - get Wii sports get your mates around and a few extre controllers and its great fun I have a ps3 and a Wii, the graphics on the Wii are no where near as good as the ps3 - however the game play is unique and you dont care about the graphics plus its cheaper and a lot of fun

wii is fantastic. i've had 6 games for it (sold them all coz i needed money) but kept wii sports of course. it's always a blast and drunken golf is hilarious! i lost weight on boxing. graphics are disgracefull, but usually that makes the whole scene even funnier. waiting for smash bros brawl and i don't think i'll ever need another console.
although i did just get WPT for ps2 yesturday... played it till 4am this morn. *yawn* |

"Wii News: 67% of Wii owners haven't used the console recently ..."
The Wii is a joke but you can probably pick a second hand one up real cheap. |

I prefer my 360 for "Real" Gaming - And obviously graphics -
When you have the Wii on the Net you can download old N64 - Nes - Snes games - and you can also get weather and current news I find the Wii Fun for playing with mates - Drinking and what not - I haven't found a game yet that i enjoy playing 1 player - Sitting at for endless hours - If you like Wii Sports - Mario and Sonic Olympics is a blast |

The 360 hasn't been able to meet sales targets but started doing a little better with the release of some truly good games. The Wii was purchased by many people that normally would not buy a console and is reflected by the massive sales figures but the apparent lack of use. The abscence of any decent development house making games for the console for the first 18 months would have also contributed. I don't own any of these consoles and never plan to. Last console I got was a xbox because it was free with a phone. |

Doesnt matter what the sales figures show or who doesnt use it etc etc.
You dont know what you are missing.. they are great fun, regardless.

![]() What I like about it is that it's not just fun, but it gets you up and off the floor/couch. I play the Tennis game alot and it's good exercise. Good for the kids too. Gets them active. Heres what I've bought: 1) Wii with Wii Sports (inc nunchuck and controller) $348 - Big W 2) Brain Academy with Wii Remote $69.95 - Big W 3) Sports pack (tennis racquet, baseball bat, golf club, boxing gloves, steering wheel grip and skins for nunchucks and remotes) $34.00 4) 2 x White Gamecube Controllers - $25.90 AND Wii Classic Controller (to use with NES/SNES/64 games downloaded through Wii Shop using Wii Points Card) $19.00 Cost around $500 all up but worth every cent! It's the best fun!! Already have a PS2 and almost bought the PS3 but decided on the Wii at the last minute and glad I did. Krissy.

Try a few other places then
Game or game.com.au if they have stores near you, EB, Harvey Norman, Kmart all those places should have them at a good price.
