Nintendo Wii info

We were thinking of getting one for the kids this Christmas. I have seen a couple threads in the lounge about them. I'm interested in getting some reviews from you guys. Also if we do decide to get one where the best place to buy?

Thanks

I got a Wii for myself last year. It is a pretty cool system.

I ended up staying up all night (and having pizza delivered to my car) to get mine. That all being said, call around and go early. Its worth it to sit in your car with a book and a coffee for half and hour.

Lots of games available, and so far I have yet to have any problem with my system. I picked up a second controller with the game Smooth Moves and it was worth the investment.

I have one and love it.

I stopped using my Xbox 360 all together. (Gave it to my friends kid now.)

I'd recomend getting one.

We have all the systems, and Wii is by far my favorite. There are a lot of multiplayer games, so it makes for a nice evening in with friends over. Mario Party is a big hit for us. We usually have friends over an evening, and play Mario party all evening.

Got a Wii for the kid but it's still in the box (Xmas) but know he really likes the ones the different friends have (he seven).

Took about 3 weeks to get one once I started looking hard. Talking to the different stores, the trick is if it's in the flyer the store will be getting some maybe only 5 but they'll have them.

For me the flyers were dry for a bit then when the Wiis started, I missed out a few times, when the flyer says 'sale starts Saturday' be there when the doors open. Finally did that and was 20th in line but got the last one from ToyrUs for that shipment.

Seems Future Shop and EB games a good bet.

I also got this link, can't say it work for me as no hits on it until after I got mine, but it did start popping.

Hopefully more will be available with Christmas coming so good luck.

I got one in august and they are a lot of fun for all ages. I was in Costco the other day and saw they had bunch of Wii's.

I like my Wii. I don't play it as much as I should but it is a good buy. I need to get a new wiimote sensor as one of my damned cats chewed through the wire.

I am shocked that they are still hard to find. I got mine about a month after it came out but I got lucky, I was off work on a Friday and went into Rogers video to get a movie and the gal at the counter was just opeing up boxes from a delivery and there were two in there. I grabbed one but should have bought both.

as fasr as i have seen/heard, it's a great system. A few of my friends have one and i must say, it makes for some great party games.

Greg here is a solution to your problem http://www.joystiq.com/2006/11/27/jo...ii-sensor-bar/

Yes thats right, grab a couple tea light candles and place them on your T.V. and you have no need for the sensor bar.
