    Now all that's left is the system.

    Wow. Went into my local Wal-mart (Eastman, GA) and they had approximately 10-15 of the Wii-motes and nun-chuks. No systems, though.

      I got my extra Wii-mote and a copy of Zelda today in the mail from Circuit City. I'm hoping the console is here on Monday.

          I am still looking for a system, Sully. Unfortunately, it will be a Christmas gift for the kids.

              I'm "this close" to buying a Wii. I never buy more than one console per generation, but Nintendo really hit on something, here.

                The Wii is well worth it.

                  I've been going back and forth on it, along those lines. It just sounds so fresh. Completely different than what the 360 offers me. It could really breathe new life into the sports genre. Plus, I'd get to go back and play all of those GC games that I missed. What to to, what to do???

                      It does bring a fresh breathe of air to games like Madden '07. The interactivity alone will make some people not want to play 360/PS3 Madden ever again.

                        That's what I keep hearing from people. Then they same play it and say "I thought it was just a gimmick but now I LOVE IT!"
                        We'll see in a few days after I get mine. FOr me right now it's all about 2 things. Zelda and the fun I keep hearing people say they have playing it with wife and kids. Good family system it looks like.

                          It's not a gimmick, and take that from a guy that was calling this the "XBOX1 w/ a Gimmick Controller" a few months ago. Rent or Buy Madden '07 and you will see that this thing is no gimmick, you may never want to play a football game again with the regular controller. Same goes with Wii Sports, there is tons of potential here.

                            Sky, keep me updated on Gamestop's situation. I might have to make a trip there every morning this upcoming week when they open.

                              DAMN IT!!!! just stop it now. I have looked all over for this system, to no avail. Any advice on where to get one? Also on Madden are all the features on current Gen in the WII version?
