Good heavens, that new Black Wii box is turning me on photo

I don't know if I am just conditioned to the pure white, goody two shoes look of the white Wii or what, but somehow looking at this box I found on CNET makes me feel ... sexier. More inclined to want to turn the console on. Hell, I'd even play something with a bit of waggle. And you know how I feel about that.

We've known about the black Wii for a while now, and there's nothing unexpected about the way the box looks -- it's the exact white box, but in black instead. It should be totally run of the mill, so why am I having a reaction? The same reaction, in fact, that I had when I saw the DSi (which I bought even though my DS Lite was in perfect functioning order).

The black Wii comes out in Japan on the 1st of August and there is currently no release date for it here in the US. Would you buy one if the color makes it to our shores?

Women like "waggling" more when the "Wii" is black: CONFIRMED!!

No wonder I had so much time getting girls to come over and "play" with my "Wii"! It's just plain old white! :(

Even when it comes to consoles, the ladies prefer the black ones.

Once you go black... Well, I suppose you realize it's still a Wii and get really disappointed when you're lucky to get a handful of good games a year. Like I did with mine. :'C

But it does look nice, for sure.

It kind of makes me want to get a nice shiny black PS3 to accompany my Wii next to my television.

So, uh. Let's pretend I didn't just totally screw up my BBCode tags.

Looks really good. Really svelte. And even though I'll assume there's no non-cosmetic difference between the black & white Wiis, I'd much prefer this one.

Remember when the DS Lite and Wii came out, and everyone was like "Ah, what a refreshing look! I'm so tired of boring black consoles that just get so obviously dusty."

I felt the same way as most people - and now, I'm tired of white. Black would be a nice change of pace.

Does anyone want to trade my white Wii with a broken power button for one of these?

...Anyone?

You win, Lemon.

But this really IS sexy. It's mostly because the color black is just much more elegant than White and it usually ends up with a better appearance than white.

A friend just gave me their old Wii, and I'd still buy this console tomorrow if it went on sale. Do it, Nintendo!

If they made a black one for the US...I'd probably go buy it. Even though I already have one.

Just ponder on that a bit.

I'm really curious as to why they didn't do this when the Wii first hit the scene, I mean they did it with the gameboy & it's other incarnations, the N64 & the the gamecube. Wii is ford in the early 20th century.

Hell no I wouldn't buy one. I already own a white one and that was a mistake I'm not going to repeat in a hurry.

I will certainly be the first one to get this Black beauty. No offence to my White Wii but black color has its own different attraction and frankly A black Wii coupled with Black LCD, Pc, Laptop, PS3 looks cool!!
