My daughter and sil are here for the week. She and my son have been video game fanatics since they were little. She mentioned a month ago she wanted a wii for Christmas. We got her one and hooked it up last night. I'd gotten a ps3 a month ago primarily for the blue ray player and got GT-5 and Call of Duty. I suck at video games. My son got home from school for Christmas break Sunday and was smoking hot on the GT-5 first rattle out of the box. I assumed the wii would be more of the same. So we hooked up up last night and watched our son in law and daughter play the games. Next thing you know she has my wife doing it then I was in on it. Really fun stuff.

My daughter had us make our own character and I just had to call myself the Dude to get into the bowling vibe. And drink some beer too. That has to be part of it.

We have a Wii and the family really enjoys it. Although I am the last person in the world that you would expect it from I love Rock Band. Ok, just the drums and singing as I actually hate the guitar. It is very very therapeutic and my kids play along with me while the wife sings.

The sports pack is also great, my boys love golf, tennis and bowling.

It is a great family system.

An odd turn of events where a video game and television actually brings families together.

I got one and the fit game. Now I have to wait and it is supposed to be for her. Looking forward to a great day.
Thanks

Wife got me a Wii as a wedding present this year, and Mario Cart + 2 wheels for my birthday. It is a blast. Have not been drinking and driving yet.

Drunken Bowling is a great game for a adult get together

Today I was walking by the PT section of a medical clinic I visit once every other week. Some guy was using a Wii (baseball, IIRC) for some sort of therapy.

I bought my family a Wii this Christmas and gave it to them early. Everyone loves it and plays it a lot. This is our 1st gaming console and my wife loves the Wii Fit, the kids play the bowling game and I got them a few more games for opening tomorrow AM. We hooked ours up to the Internet to get updates, etc... Get the extra memory stick to save games, etc... and get enough game controllers and nunchuks.

:D

Thinking of getting the Fit board and the snowboard game should be fun !

Well i got the Wii console with the sport package and the fit board. My wife loved it, hooked it up this morning. Had a blast over coffee learning how it worked. Decided to go out for somw sales and came home with steering wheels, baja 1000 extra remote with chargers. Drunken bowling tonight after dinner

A huge thank you for everyones advice

Awesome, hope you guys have a blast!

The wife and I got a Wii for Christmas last year, got Mario Kart for Christmas this year... in between we picked up Mario Galaxy (great game!) and Dance Dance Revolution (which the wife loves). We've had a lot of fun using the system; it is the first video game system I have used since my first generation Nintendo back around 1988, it is quite different from what most people think of when they envision a video game system.
