The Wii is almost hii..

Sorry for the godawful pun. The Nintendo Wii, possibly the most innovative and intuitive games console since the Atari 2600 is about to be released in North America for a quite reasonable $250. Not only that, it's best features include it's motion sensitive controller (the Wii-mote) and the availability of every single Nintendo game ever created for download: we're talking all the Mario games from the NES to the SNES to the N64, Donkey Kong, Golden Eye, Legend of Zelda and a host of classics from the 1990s. So far, no word on one of my favorite games of all time (Flashback) but the chances are it'll be available. This, is gonna be huge. Farewell, my so-called social life!
