I snagged one

A Wii, that is. I’ve never been a gamer and have never owned a game system. But there was just something about the Wii that made me want to give it a shot. So, for the past few weeks, I’ve been trying to track down a system locally. Everywhere it has been sold out. I almost ordered one from California last weekend, but a friend of mine (a fellow member of the “he who dies with the most toys wins” group 🙂 ) told me to hold out and just keep checking the local stores. Pretty easy decision, since the place I was going to order it from was charging $150 over retail for it.

So, after stopping at Best Buy on my way back from the Beach this morning (30 units received Thursday – all gone by today), we made a few calls and located a store that got a delivery last night. Headed straight out and bought it, along with the extra controllers needed for two-person play. And, of course, Madden football 🙂

After a few hours of playing with it, I can honestly say that it’s been a real delight. Of course, my elbow hurts, my knees hurt and after 3 rounds of boxing, I’m worn out.

Oh – and I had to rearrange my family room. It takes a lot of space to play tennis 😀
