Yea the only downside is now my best friend who has muscular dystrophy won't be able to play. We used to get on hours of Killer Instinct before his thumbs would wear out, now I doubt he'll last 10m.

Yeah, I won't be able to play this boxing game. Maybe the bowling game, which looks pretty chill.

I'm very excited for the Wii. Besides the obvious pricetag of the PS3, there's a bunch of other reasons why I prefer the Wii over a PS3. I made a small little rant on my LiveJournal if anyone's interested: http://nekomimi-ruri.livejournal.com/136398.html

Hope the Wii wins out over the PS3. So much hype im sick of it. Plus the Nintendo controller idea is where the future is. Not button mashing madness. Hey anything that helps kids get off the couch is a good thing.
