Of course arguably, unless you're throwing PS3 games at it, it's not likely to be in danger of overheating, but it's irrelevant since the general consensus is that the PS3 is pretty reliable.

I've been trying to get my mom to grab a game controller since 1989 without avail. Today she played Wii Tennis and Bowling. Both my sisters (45 and 48-in-November) played (I don't think they've EVER played a video game) and my 13-year-old niece of course loved it. My niece is picking up a remote to come and play often and my sister is going to buy 2 more controllers for New Year's so that we have 4 to play. New Year's is going to be awesome
These are the games I'm getting. Nothing much really interests me right now, but a bunch of things that are going to be coming out are awesome.
Carnival Games
Gottlieb Pinball Collection
Mario Party 8
Mario Strikers Charged
Warioware Smooth Moves
Wii Play
And of course Wii Sports. That's going to be a killer game collection. I'll have them within the next three weeks. Other than that 2 games have me really excited: The stadium game collection coming out (i.e. discus throw) and Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 (1 wasn't really a mini-game collection, 2 is). I'm more into this kind of mini-game craze so the Wii's proving awesome for me.

^ They're right.
VC Update for 9/10:
VC Update for 9/10:
NES Play Action Football (NES®, 1-4 players, rated E for Everyone, 500 Wii Points): "Ready! Hut hut hut..." Nintendo takes to the gridiron with the classic football powerhouse NES Play Action Football. Featuring a distinct overhead viewpoint that creates an almost 3-D field, the action is more simulation-based than many of the more arcade-based games of the time. Play through four 15-minute quarters (in accelerated time) and even substitute players when your first-stringers get tired. Want more options? Each of the eight available teams has multiple running/passing plays to choose from while on offense, as well as a wide selection of defensive schemes that can be run when you're on the other side of the ball. And in addition to viewing two full teams on the screen at once without any slowdown, you'll hear voice snippets at key points of the game. Line up, and see if you have what it takes to win the Power Bowl.
Sonic the Hedgehog™ 3 (Sega Genesis, 1-2 players, rated E for Everyone – Comic Mischief, 800 Wii Points): Sonic and Tails are back for another adventure as they again battle the evil Dr. Eggman (aka Dr. Robotnik), who is desperately trying to collect all the Chaos Emeralds to rebuild his Death Egg. Our heroes must again find the Chaos Emeralds before Dr. Eggman does, but winning the race won't be easy this time – a new adversary, Knuckles the Echidna, has arrived on the scene and will do whatever he can to keep Sonic and Tails from reaching their goal. Grab all the golden rings, find various bonus zones and overcome Knuckles and Dr. Eggman as you rocket through the third chapter in Sonic's adventures.
Neutopia II (TurboGrafx16, 1 player, rated E for Everyone – Mild Fantasy Violence, 600 Wii Points): Experience improved graphics and controls in this exciting sequel to the action role-playing game Neutopia. Take on the role of the main hero's son and watch as the story begins with the apparent revival of Dirth, the evil demon. Once again you'll need to rely on your magic compass and the information you've gathered to find entrances to labyrinths and defeat the bosses in them. Make your way through the field, which can be tricky at times, to search for and find hidden information and items, or move blocks and destroy walls to uncover secret rooms. Like the original, this game has a save function, a finely tuned difficulty level and a fast-paced story, making it truly an RPG that everyone can enjoy.

The Wii has now frozen three times, all in bowling, and it has me nervous because TRU probably has none in stock and I don't want to part with it in order to send it to Nintendo. Do you think it's the system or the game that has issues? I have it vertical without the base, could that be it?

Vertical w/o the base doesn't seem like a good idea (is it even sanctioned in the manual?). It's quite possible that you're having old-fashioned disc-skipping. Try putting it horizontal or add the base and see if that corrects the issue.

Okay, now it's confirmed.
http://kotaku.com/gaming/breaking/ni...bow-298328.php
Nov. 19th - $20 - includes Link's Crossbow Training. Sounds like a no-brainer for that price.

So the zapper shell comes with a game where the character doesn't even use a gun? Seems like an odd choice. They probably just want to milk Zelda a little and reuse music, 3D models, and possibly some code.
