    We had an 80-something marrying a 20-something boy who was SO gay. It was easy to see why they'd got married.

    Just so you know: Alienware's computers are built by the same Chinese company [and from the same parts] as Dell and [I'mn't positive on this one, but fairly certain. A good 85%] HP. A high-end Dell will perform identically to a mid-level Alienware, for a lower price. Oh, and I could get a Wii for $100, 'cause I can get Employee Pricing. ^_^

    Yeah, Dells and HP's are made from the same parts. So's Compaq. So much for brand names!
    And, you both suck, because I had to order my Wii from a store in Kansas, since no stores on the freaking east coast had any in stock. Well, they did, but how the hell am I supposed to get to a store in western Connecticut before the last unit goes home to someone else (I live in PA)? Also, my brother in law said he'd hold it for me so I could actually buy one.
    Whatever the case, I ended up paying $270 for it. There was an extra $30 tacked on there for shipping.
    Honestly, it was money well spent, though I do think not having to pay the extra $140 would have been pretty nice.

    It could just be that you're a fan of fireball Fighter games and not Interactive games. Aside from boxing, I can't see how the Wii could comfortable handle a game like Mortal Kombat with it's remote/nunchuck setup and motion detection.

    I love the Wii and so do my parents and wife. But I come from the Atari generation of gaming so maybe I'm just sick of sitting on my ass everytime I want to play Xbox. It's refreshing to get up and move around a bit with these newer games. I'm looking forward to Wii Fit too.
