Now I really want a Wii, i guess im going to start calling every store in calgary.

I think it was either the Walmart at MacKenzie or Shawnessy store that was supposed to be getting in 20 today (or so i was told)... give them a try... call the walmarts anyways, they seem to get em in all the time.

Well ive called every store i can think of and there all sold out, many had some in this morning but are gone now.

Now i want one too. Trying to convince the wife its a good educational tool for the kids, the problem is the kids are only 2 years old. Way to lazy to call around as well.

FYI HMV started to get them in as well (only the westhills and steven ave locations)... not sure how often they'll get em in, but i don't think many people know that.

So, what do you think so far Sean??

I haven't had much time to work on Zelda, but so far it looks like it's going to be a gooder.. lots of strategy and a very complex map.

NFS is good, exactly what you'd expect.. but with the Wiimote, it makes it that much more fun to play. Drifting is pretty sweet.

I rented Call of Duty 3, and Marvel Alliance last week. Skip the Marvel Alliance , IMO .. it's very lame, the camera setup is just silly (top down, starcraft/warcraft style) Pretty cheesy. COD3 is OK .. controls seem very touchy and hard to get a feel of, I am sure if I had sat down with it for a couple hours I would have got it, but just wasn't that interested in it anyhow.

So far, I am still quite pleased...the Wii sports is no longer fun, I think the lack of options and gameplay, but that's fine.. the game was made to show the capabilities of the Remote. The graphics could be better, but hey.. what can ya do. I expected more (graphic wise) from Zelda, but then I found out this was to be a Gamecube game, and they didnt' end up realeasing it, and used it for the Wii instead. Still a really fun game... Zelda is a legend.

I'm looking to buy a 3rd game, but don't know what yet.... so if you've played some games I haven't. . let me know how they are, and I'll do the same

well, so far i like it, i do wish the wii sports had more options, but its still fun, especially when there is "newbies" over, they can't get enough of it. Zelda is really good so far, I agree the grapics aren't great, but i think the component cables should help (so it outptus 480p instead of 480i) Take a look at this comparision: http://au.gamespot.com/features/6162...6162297&page=2 ... the cables are sold out though, and are going for 5x the amount on ebay! some people are nuts!

Haven't gotten good at NFS yet, i still crash all the time, it seems REALLY sensitive to me, oh well, just need some practice i guess. Haven't played anything else, my buddy said Red Steel is awsome though... wanna get 2 more wiimotes (i think 2 nunchucks is enough).. Can't wait for a full version golf to come out.

Sweet.. now I have to hunt down the component cables! I will let you know if I find some, if you'll do the same... the difference is pretty insane..

I agree.. it's fun to see the newbies react to the console.. it really is a neat experience. Also, it's a lot more fun when your playing Wii sports with two people , rather than against the computer.

Try going into the NFS options and adjusting your sensitivity.. all games should have this option now. I didn't have to adjust mine, but obviously some people will need to.. I'd look into that.

I asked for another Wiimote for x-mas, as playing with two people is going to be a blast.

Question.. are the cables only available online right now? And , do you need an HD tv in order to use the cables?

I really don't think that you would need an HDTV to you the component cables since the Wii doesn't output in 720p or 1080i.
