I Grew Up on NES

I try to post things that are a little bit unusual. Things that people either wouldn't think of buying themselves or at the very least a purchase that would require a fair bit of research in order to identify the best product. This post is a bit of an exception since everyone knows about this product and it differentiates itself quite clearly.

I played the Nintendo Wii on the weekend and it is, in my opinion, the best video game system ever made. It's social, it's fun and it's only a matter of time before I figure out how to use it as a drinking game. The game play is just so intuitive that it sucks you right in. To those of you out there who are reading this and have tried the Wii, you can vouch that it's more fun than you had ever expected. To those who have not yet played with it, find out who among your friends owns one and be really nice to them so they invite you over to play.

In Canada, Walmart has dropped the price to $249 CDN in their most recent flyer. Now all you need is to find a store that has a unit in stock. There is also a report that the supply shortage will be thing of the past come mid April. Here's hoping.
