Just a question for the other Wii owners, how often is your blue light surrounding the disc slot on?

I think mine only comes on when i put a disk in.... i think, never paid much attention to it,

Wii is totally worth it!
Zelda is good, sports is pretty good too!
I picked up two on Saturday morning after hanging out all night at Zellers in West Ed.

Dam, I can't seem to find one in Vancouver or area. This is really getting crazy. How does everyone know when they are in the stores.

Call call call!
I picked mine up from Zellers, but if you call Best Buy or Future Shop, even EB games, they generally tell you when the next shipment is expected to arrive. Then the night before you pack up your car, bundle up and go wait outside.

Hah... I called around all afternoon, probably about 2-3 hours worth of calling. Called store after store, and was about to give up, and I called a Zellers which had a shipment come in that day.. I got there just in time to pick mine up. Got pretty lucky.

I rented Red Steel and Super monkey ball on the weekend, and I would say red steel is a decent game despite the bad reviews. Yes, it's super cheesy dialouge and there are the odd few bugs, but nothing that bad. It's not a bad game at all, once the controls are learnt it's pretty fun. Super monkey ball hasn't done much for me yet, but I haven't played much. I'd recommend Red Steel, but only if you go into the game not expecting too, too much. Remember, a lot of these games (for Nintendo) are going to be gameplay over graphics and realism. (IMO) .. Nintendo isn't too focused on great graphics, etc.. but rather the fact that your having a ton of fun as you play.

My buddy said that Rayman Rabbits was is a ton of fun, its just a bunch of mini games, but he said it was really good....

Rayman lacked the polish I expect out of games.

Funny thing about the Wii is that you don't need the sensor bar in the system.

You can make your own using two candles to create an IR field. Huzzah!
