This is my console of choice for the moment. I know the 360 and PS3 are better graphically, but I wanted a new experience other than better graphics. The control scheme of the Wii gives me that new experience. I have Wii Sports, Wii Play, Zelda, Red Steel, Cars (cheap off Ebay), and Ice Age 2 (again, cheap off Ebay- not delivered yet). I also rent from Gamesmonster online- £8.99 p/m for 1 game at a time. First game was Far Cry, which had very poor reviews, but as it was an fps, I had to see what it was like for myself. Red Steel, thankfully, is definately better- so I bought the right one. The best game in my collection is definately Zelda, although I wish it had speech instead of just text. However I get just as much fun out of Red Steel and Wii Sports (me and my family played Wii Sports to death over Christmas). A great console, with some great games. I am just hoping for a special forces fps like Rainbow 6 to come out.

Not yet, but I yearn for the day I walk into a shop and say
"Can I have a wii please"!
I think I'll be getting a 360 first- Halo 3, Gears of War, Lost Planet, nuff said! Though I'm a self confessed Zelda nut.

Not yet. Although, to be honest, with many of these larger game consoles I tend wait until one of my family members (or close friends) gets one and then just use theirs... it saves a lot of money, and I get to try out more types of games consoles that way.  I'm certainly looking forward to trying it out, when I have access to one. |

If i was in the market for a console, the Wii would be it. But i'm a PC player, i never owned a console and i don't think i will ever own one...at least until my boy wants one, that is  . With respect the controller, i'm sure some clone of it will be available for PC soon enough. |

In fact Reppu, there are vids online (probably on YouTube) where PC users have managed to use a program which allows the Wii remote to control the PC rather like a mouse, and even play Call of Duty on the PC with it!

I can't believe they are still so hard to get hold of. I told my Mum I'd get her one for her Birthday in April (as I thought it wouldn't be a problem getting hold of one come April). Do you think she would tell the difference if I made one out of a cereal box?

Yeah, I can't beleive it either. It's been nearly 3 months since the launch now and they're still as rare as Sasquatch droppings. I was looking on a site last night that tracked Wii availability, and stock on Amazon was lasting minutes before going again. Well at least it gives me longer to save up for one.

Yeah... I still don't know anyone who has one. It's really weird - They all seem to be disappearing off the face of the Earth... (never thought I'd ever be saying this, but perhaps the Martians are stealing our Wii...  ;D ). |

My brother's got a Wii and I've finally managed to have a little play on it. The boxing is absolutely awesome! I was bloody knackered after fighting about 6 different fighters. Keep fit while playing games - Great!
