It finally happened. I was browsing Craigslist, trying to score a PS3 for $400, and I came across a nice little posting; "Wii + 2 nunchucks + 2 remotes + Wii Play = $320" It seemed like a fair price to me, considering used Wii's go above retail still. Wii = $250, WiiPlay = $50, Nunchuck = $20. All without taxes.
I gave the dude a call and offered him $300 for the whole package, he accepted and after dinner a couple of friends and I went to the bank to pull out some money. Unfortunately for me, Bank of America blows, and I was unable to pull out $300 in cash. Tho, I have rich friends, so I wrote my buddy a check and he was able to pull out 3 bills from Golden One (Yipee!?).
It's around 10pm now, and we finally went to pick up the Wii. It was in good condition, had only been used for a month, The first Wii note was dated May 6th. Everything plugged in nicely and we ended up screwing around with it til about 2am.

about me
Best game in the world, ever, quite possibly should be, maybe, kinda, God of War.... Maybe Guitar Hero. I don't really put myself into a fanboy class, if I had to choose one, I'd probably go with the Wii ... haters. Useless, overpriced, POS. I currently own a ps2, wii, ps3, xbox360, DS Lite, and a PSP. Pirating is bad... if you are caught o.O

Wii Bowling and Golf are fun. Creating and trading Mii's is fun too, at least for a few months.
