I purchased a Nintendo Wii last Sunday morning from ToysRUs at Stone Crest Mall in Lithonia, GA. It was the first console game that I ever purchased. No, I did not camp out. Laugh I stood in line only 30 minutes.
The Wii was supposed to be a birthday gift for my daughter but after setting it up and playing a few Wii Sports games like boxing and bowling it became a gift to the household Laugh
My entire family enjoys playing the Wii. Someone in my household, there are only three of us excluding my three clown fish, got so involved playing the Wii that they put an inch long surface level scratch on my new 40" 1080P LCD HDTV screen. Mad The scratch is barely noticeable but I told everyone to not get carried away and hit the TV. You know a brother had to hide the controllers. Laugh My wife said that she did not do it and my daughter has been slow to confess. My baby girl does not like to disappoint her father. I told her that no one can play with the Wii until I get a confession. I'm certain that one will be forthcoming this evening when I return home. Laugh
The Wii is family friendly. If you decide to purchase a Wii put it in an area with plenty of room and lay down some ground rules to ensure that your electronics and furniture don't get jacked up. Laugh

TechRattler-Nintendo is replacing the controller straps that wrap around the wrist. I have not experienced any problems with my strap.
Some gamers are getting carried away while playing the Wii. They are damaging their TVs and furniture.
I can throw a 95 mph fastball with the flip of the wrist while other gamers act like they are on the mound in the bottom of the ninth with bases loaded. Laugh
The Wii is really that much fun to play. Like I posted above, ground rules must be established and sufficient space must be cleared.

PS3 and XBox better take notice. Memorizing 30 controller button and toggle combingations is not necessary when playing the Wii.
Wii 2007 could include improved graphics.
