What?! You don’t have a Wii? 2006 called and it wants its blog post back!

That’s really funny, alter ego. That’s right, I never got the Wii. I got the PlayStation 3 and sold it in short order. I wanted to get the XBOX 360 but the 3 ringed monster of doom scared me off. This must be a really hard one to fix since it keeps happening with every new iteration of the console. I won’t pretend to know what I’m talking about here. Microsoft has a few smart people. If they can’t figure it out, I sure can’t.

Stop rambling and write about whether you liked the Wii!

The Wii came nicely packaged, a bit a la Apple product. Not quite as beautiful of a job, but close. Plugging everything together was a breeze. The low definition cable which came with the console did the job of showing the graphics on my 37” LCD TV just fine. I don’t really see a difference between 480i and 480p with my new “high definition” cable from Belkin. I’m glad it’s actually a really nice cable so that I have something to justify the $15 I spent for the cable.

The Wii comes with the sports game everyone surely knows about at this point. It’s a perfect showcase of what the Wii can do with its trend changing remote thingy.

Let me tell you, the Wii does a much better job with reading my movements than the Duck Hunt gun I played with when I was young!

I’m going to go downstairs and play another round of Wii Tennis. I can’t keep writing when I still haven’t made pro at it.

2009-08-20 UPDATE: Haven’t played in two months. I guess this shows just how much I like my Wii. Or I just prioritize better nowadays. Yes, let’s go with that.
