I'm paying more attention to the FLCL/Haruko wallscroll than the dancing PS3s...
EDIT: Well, I got my wii today and it's FUN. I haven't had that much fun with a console in a long time. Wii Sports alone is enough to keep you busy for a while. Tennis and Boxing are my two favorites so far.

I totally agree with Yasu I got a wii today too, good two hours of camping before target opened and I was number 35/51Yasu said:
. Got excite truck, cod3, and of course the free wii sports which I was actually very impressed with, the bowling and the tennis are pretty fun. Excite truck is pretty amazing as well, and well cod its going to take some getting used to...

I am very interested in getting a Wii. How is Cod3, is it safe to say that FPS games should be left to normal controllers?

Well, my preorder came in late, and I am picking up my Wii today after work. I have played Wii sports already at a display model and my co-worker brought his in today and we played at lunch.
Overall, the limited time I have just played the Wii, with just Wii sports I am very impressed of how responsive the remote is. It is very responsive, and it is kind of obvious that Wii sports is not really a game, it is more of a demo of what the Wii can do. I love the Golf game, and i can't wait for Tiger Woods to come out on the Wii, it is going to be awesome.
I watched some zelda today, but didn't play. i will be picking up zelda on my way home today for my Wii though. It looked very impressive. The long wait for its release was totally worth it.
Now, I am going to go pawn my GC and get some Wii Games!

The learning curve is very steep. It's just about impossible to shoot straight and the button set up is odd. It would be so much easier to just use a regular controller...but I guess I'll have to learn to stay still if I want to kill someone...

On a side note, my neighbor has a 360 and we beat gears of war on co-op mode the other day, and I have to say. That game is very awesome!
I think I may pick up a 360 in 2007. I will not touch a PS3 for at least a few years. I bought my PS2 a year after release and it broke down. I think sony finally made a solid PS2 when the slim came out.

Haha I was actually just talking to some people a little bit about that. Its because the wii came out, the ps3 had more hype but when it was all said and done everyone is letting their ps3's collect dust while they are playing zelda.

I actually agree with you there, I haven't used a Wii before, but I heard that actually being able to swing a sword, play golf, or hit a baseball is much funner then using thumbpads and buttons.

The golf game in Wii sports is amazingly fun, and it takes finess, like real golf should. Obviously Wii sports is more of a concept game, it wasn't developed to look or be impressive, it was developed to be an exhibition of what the wii can do.
It reminds me of golden Tee but instead of hitting a track ball, you are swinging. Swing too hard and you slice your shot, swing too soft and you come up short, swing just right and you make your shot close to the hole.

I just spent some more time with my Wii today, that sounded dirty I'll admit that, and discovered that Twilight Princess is one of the best games in a long time. You'd think that having to swing your wiimote around to use your sword would be a pain but it's not. The graphics aren't anything like F.E.A.R. or Oblivion, but that's just fine because the game is FUN. If I had to choose the best thing about Twilight Princess besides the gameplay would be the lighting. I don't want to spoil anything but you'll know what I'm talking about when you get there...
Tis very true...it's very 'funner' than thumbpads and buttons...
lovely?

ha ha ha, but no. the xbox360 is so fun its crazy. i personally dont own one becasue i like my computer better, but my friend does, and the new far-cry on it rocks the house. just because the 360 is bleeding edge doesnt mean it isnt fun
i agree with you guys about the Wii b/c its even attracting non-gamers but right now its too early to say that the Wii is winning people over the PS3's. Nintendo had ample amounts of Wii's in stock since they are cheap to produce but Sony only had a limited a supply. Its sad to say but i think by next year when PS3 prices go down more people will be moving towards Sony. but dont get me wrong i think the Wii is really cool b/c Nintendo came up with something totally different from Sony and Microsoft this year. im still trying to get my hands on one... im going to try getting one on black friday... i might even have to camp out... :/
