Keep buying the Wii! It can only help the Mariners.
I would've thought your childhood and high school and college years would've prepared you for it.but maybe it's cuz I get my ass kicked all the time.

They have a game where you shove the Wiimote up Bill Bavasi's ass?
wait, when they wii first came out wasn't it only about $200? pretty sure thats what i saw, and then it gets popular and everyone bids it up to ridiculous amounts? i don't understand this video game culture...
Don't trust your vision if that's the case.The Wii was and always has been $250.
oh, ok. i just cannot believe how much people are willing to pay for this thing. granted, i don't play video games so i may not understand, but all this seems nuts.Don't trust your vision if that's the case.
nature and exercise are still free...fwiw.
Really? What kind of car do you own?
How much did you pay for your stereo system?
What did you give for your last computer, or the one you're posting to ST now on?
It might "seem nuts" to you, but I'd be willing to bet you have hobbies that you've paid out the mouth for. $250 in the grand scheme of things is nothing. People pay 10 thousand bucks for a stereo, or $55,000 for an SUV they really don't need just because it's shiny.
I hope you don't have any bad habits. Do you drink or smoke? Do you gamble? Play pool? Buy antiques or jewelry? Those are far more expensive and far less healthy than the Wii.
As far as exercise goes, hey, you're welcome to come to Chicago. We could go exercise outside right now! It's 19 degrees and snowing.

2. no stereo system
3. my computer was $1800 but its 3 years old and i'd hardly compare it to a wii (just got it fixed so i don't have to buy a new one for, hopefully, another 6 months)
4. don't smoke
5. i gamble and drink, but i win more than i lose
6. i live in Missoula, Mt...its colder longer here
i'm not your average person, that being said...my point is, i don't think it makes sense to overpay(1) for something thats going to increase your laziness mentally and physically(2). i am not trying to start anything or pick on anyone...i just see this country getting lazier and fatter and i guess scurrying around overpaying for game systems doesn't help.
...just my opinion.
More preaching from the perfect people I see.
I'd like to get a Wii, but I don't want to pay 600 bucks.
I still haven't seen any solid ideas as where to get one.
Since people seem to have me on ignore, could somebody quote me and let people see this, please?

Who has you on ignore?
if I know, but people keep saying prices are ungodly high and it's like I'm back in the middle ages telling people the Earth is round.
Who has you on ignore?
Thanks Johnnyblaze.
And johngateswhitley I appreciate your concern for the overweight and lazy but I stay fit so I will enjoy my wii, thanks.
They have a pill that will fix that.
- someone beat me to it. By a big margin too.
Who doesn't?

Also a couple hours later than it should have been.
Rodents of Unusual Size? I don't think they exist.
As you wish.
i'm happy for you...and you misspelled my name.Thanks Johnnyblaze.

Did you find a Wii? If not let me know they got tons around here...
We got ours at the HEB Plus on the southside. Matthew says he sees them there all the time. Granted, it came in a bundle for about 399 but it was worth it. It came with 2 other games beside the Wii Sports and it came with and extra controller and nunchuck.
Mario Galaxy is the best game on the Wii so far, I played that thing for what felt like 72 hours striaight. We just downloaded some of the old school games off the Virtual Console. It's been ages since I've been able to play Super Mario Bros 3 but those old school graphics put a big smile on my face.
Xbox & PS are great if you're a serious gamer and into all that stuff, but the Wii, in my opinion, is for us people who just want to have careless fun gaming.
I haven't found one yet! Another poster said he had one for me but hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'll take one please!
How do you win more than you lose at drinking?
Really? Do you go outside for exercise and random runs in the middle of January? It's now -6 outside. Even if you bundle up, you still risk damage to your system, not to mention injuring yourself when you slip and fall on ice and snow.6. i live in Missoula, Mt...its colder longer here
I'm 5'9 and 160 pounds. I can bench press much more than I weigh. And from all my experiences, the Wii is about 100x the workout of any other console that has ever been produced. In any case, it isn't meant to replace conventional exercise. It's a video game, after all. If you want to get upset over something, why not talk about the Playstation 3, which costs $600 and offers no physical benefits at all to playing?
Not sure what you mean by this.i'm not your average person,
Your contention that someone is "overpaying" for something is rather open to debate. Who are you to judge what someone pays for an item that might be worth a lot to them, especially in the technology related field, which is always expanding? Value is a personal ideation and relative to each individual.that being said...my point is, i don't think it makes sense to overpay(1) for something thats going to increase your laziness mentally and physically(2). i am not trying to start anything or pick on anyone...i just see this country getting lazier and fatter and i guess scurrying around overpaying for game systems doesn't help.

Secondly, studies have shown that video games offer numerous mental benefits. They improve hand-eye coordination, can reduce stress levels, sharpen visual perception (in some respects), and can also improve a person's ability to handle multiple stimuli simultaneously.
Lastly, videogames are, I daresay, a step up from TV in terms of what they offer, in that they are not completely passive entertainment. Nearly all the gamers I know are relatively active individuals. I think you are suffering from the misconception that if someone plays videogames, it's all they do. Which is understandable, but not accurate.
I would also like to offer you a challenge. Try playing the Wii for a solid 30 minutes. Do bowling, tennis, boxing, and baseball.
Now, I'm not saying it's a great workout. But I bet that some parts of your body are sore the next day. "Try it before you decry it."
I haven't found one yet! Another poster said he had one for me but hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'll take one please!
LuvBones, here is a hot tip. I just bought a Wii at 2:00pm today at the GameStop on Military on the southside. It is right next to HEB. I don't remember the cross street but it is about 2 miles east of I-35. They had a few so hurry!
Good luck!
