      Components make a big difference over Composite and S-Video. I still have to order an HDMI for the PS3 which I hear that HDMI really helps improve the picture quality a bit.

        I've been playing the hell out of Bowling on Wii Sports. My 3 year old loves it, and boxing too. I'm also enjoying Zelda. I've put about 3 hours into it, and don't even feel like I've scratched the surface of the game.
        Yeah my oldest daughter is 4-1 vs me. Finally won a game today.
        I'm also playing Zelda and love it.

        Next week Elebits and Swing Away golf both come out. Need to decide which one to get.

          I was told by a Wal-Mart that every store is only getting 9.

            Their employees don't know sh!t. I called mine yesterday at 2:00 PM and they said they'd be released at 8:00 AM and they had 30. I call at 5:00 PM to make sure and then they say they handed out vouchers this afternoon! I was like thanks for screwing me. I called at 2:00! They had nothing to say..So they probably were handing them out WHEN I CALLED!

              Knowing full well that I would have no chance at picking up a system at my local Walmart, I stopped by before leaving for work at around 7:15 am. They had a sign on the window yesterday that they would be handing out vouchers at 8:00 am. So, I get to the Walmart parking lot and I see nobody in sight and I am saying to myself this is too good to be true. And of course it was, there was a new sign on the door and this one said the systems were sold out a 6:00 am.

              Everyone "really" trying to get these systems are crazy. It was 17 degrees when I left my house and I was freezing my butt off waiting for my car to warm up. I can only imagine how early these people got there and how long they waited in this freezing cold. More power to them.

              I have been casually looking for the PS3 and Wii but I am giving up until next year. There are far too many people who want it much more than I do.

              Happy hunting everyone!

                Does anyone know if the Wii component cables are still on backorder? I purchased a set from Nintendo this morning and hope they make it by Christmas.

                  Not sure, my order is still "processing".

                  I bit the bullet for a Wii on ebay hoping to make up for my loss @ walmart to no avail. But, I scored a PS3 so I should make up the 350 so I'm happy now.

                      You were told wrong. I know for a fact our Walmart has (had) 34 units.

                        I purchased mine on the 30th from the nintendo site with overnight shipping. I just received them yesterday afternoon.

                            Thanks. I opted for the UPS Blue shipping, so maybe they'll arrive sometime in the next couple of weeks.

                              Blue is 2nd day air. So once they've shipped, expect them 2 days later.

                                Don't know if this is true or not(99.999 % sure it's true everywhere) but supposedly last week when GS said they only got 3 in they actually got 8 in. 5 were held for friends etc. I heard there was a pretty big stink raised over it when the word got out.
                                That pretty much ticks me off as even though I was like 12th in line and still wouldn't have gotten one, it was "first come first serve".
