Wiiiiiiiiiii - 01-28-2007, 09:42 PM


I decided to go to Walmart this morning and saw that they just got 20 brand new Wii's in stock. So what is a person to do. So i bought one(they strictly enforced the only can buy one rule, even after i talked with the manager). I called a few of my friends who were looking for them. In about 20 minutes there were no Wii's left.

Played the Wii for the first time last night. It was quite entertaining. I'll pick one up in a few months when they are 100% stocked.

I love the Wii. It's the first system that our whole family can have fun with instead of just me. I just wish I could find some more damn remotes.

Just go to the Nintendo website and order the remotes online. I got three that way and it took only a week to get them! :)

We LOVE our Wii! Great for the whole family! We look hilarious playing tennis---it cracks me up!

For all you Wii users...just be careful.

Wii Have a Problem

Hundreds of Wii related injuries (including broken bones) and damage reports (Wii remotes through 60-inch televisions) from around the country....freaking hilarious.

Well... it's time to get back in the game.

I LOVE my wii ... i have it set up to 24connect. when you get mail the wii lights up and tell you so. the web browser is so so. but i do like the news and weather channels. i already downloaded donkey kong and super mario brothers on the virtual console. it reminds me of better days of my youth. to bad instead of my mom nagging me its now my wife!... guess some things never change.
