I got sucked in.
We've debated about getting one of these bad boys for a while now; Mike has his beloved XBox 360 and Halo 3 that really takes up the majority of the gaming time, and we've also got a Playstation 3 just for the Blu-Ray player, so I figured we were pretty well set as far as gaming systems go. Plus, there was the added benefit of not being able to find the suckers for so long; running across one was like unearthing oil in your backyard. So when I was in Best Buy the other night and I saw one sitting out on the table, I snatched it up without another thought.
It's AWESOME. Everything everyone told me it would be. We also bought MarioKart with it, along with a spare controller and an additional spare wheel, and we played against each other for a few hours the first night we had it up and running. Hell, even Bryan thought it was neat - it's a game that doesn't really require him to do much more than push one button and steer; as far as a three year old is concerned, that's the best possible scenario. It also came with Wii Sports, which I plugged in last night and had a blast playing tennis and bowling. I've even gone as far as to order the Wii Fit, because I'm a giant dork and it looks really cool.
I suddenly see a little less knitting in my future.
