Ditto for me. I'm already on the preorder list at Amazon.

Damn right, mothafucka! Going to buy for SURE! It's so cool, I think it'll even help get the chicks! Nahhh,, maybe not...

Crap, I'm probably going to have to pre-order, too. Doesn't feel like I have a choice.

So, basically you're saying I should pay $250 for you to ignore me?

Just make sure you get a second controller, then you can play together.

Wait a minute ... are we talkin' MF Super Mario? Cuz, I could pony up $250 for some uh that.

As Brent says, you'll want the extra controller. I Federer, you Sharipova. Game, set, match. Wii tennis ftw.

And yes, we're talkin' MF Super Mario. You can buy all the Nintendo classics right from the machine. Those are on me.

Sweet! Consider your Christmas gift taken care of then.

See, right there is the reason it's called "Wii"

The family that plays together stays together

Brent: That line reminds me of the photo of the family playing with the NES power pad on the old Nintendo boxes. I expect a photo like that on the back of the Wii packaging.

Nah, "real-world-situation" photos on product packaging is SO 1980s. It'll just be some sexy shots of the Wii looking all monolithic and shiny.

BUT, you do bring up an interesting idea--the Powerpad 2.0 for Wii. We should petition Nintendo.

That's such a no brainer ... CHEETAH, I'M COMING FOR YOU!!!

I should have said I *want*, not what I *expect*. heh
