If anyone's still looking for Wii Fit, you might want to check your local blockbuster. I was in one that had four copies last night and they said shipments went out to a lot of stores this week.

I had a good day, I went to walmart at around 12 noon, and saw they had 5 or 6 wii's in the display case, so I walked to the register and asked if they had any wii fits - she said "yes, they came in at 10am" and there were about 20 behind the register still in the carboard packaging - so screw you all you opportunists on eBay selling them for probably a net $30 profit! Doug bought a wii and a wiifit for retail!

Fail 1 - Son too busy playing Medal of Honour Wii (?) to repel a bestiality attack.
Fail 2 - Father enjoys watching it long enough to record a video for a prolonged period.
Fail 3 - Father posts the video on the internet for public consumption.
Pretty messed up... actually, even if it's an older brother (male voice heard) that's still a screwed up thing to do to your younger brother.

Looks staged to me. The kid sounds like he's laughing at one point. Not to mention he's still trying to play his game instead of wrestling the dog.

Is it possible to have two separate games being playing on a virtual console title? I have a game in progress and my wife wants to play. Can she start a new game without wiping out my progress or does she have to play my game?
These are NES VC titles, but I assume the same would apply for all titles. Thanks.

Decent but he's definitely stretching it. Keep it for political reasons? 
Trade it because it doesn't play DVDs?

Wii Celebrity Sports

Be sure to check out the video.
Fergie Takes On Nelly Furtado In Badminton, Dodgeball, Jet Racing In New Wii Sports Game
'Celebrity Sports Showdown' also has virtual stars facing off in inner-tubing, curling and more.
The wait to discover who can paddle a canoe faster — Fergie or Nelly Furtado — is almost over.
The eternal debate about whether Boston Celtic Paul Pierce can spike a volleyball better than country music sensation LeAnn Rimes or LeAnn Rimes will soon be settled.
Video game publisher Electronic Arts has revealed to MTV News that a new holiday-season Nintendo Wii game, "Celebrity Sports Showdown," will settle these arguments — or at least present a virtual forum with which to do so.
Modeled after the hit "Wii Sports" and developed by the creators of another mini-game compilation, "EA Playground," the new EA title will allow up to four players to control a set of celebrities in activities that range from the bizarre (inner-tubing) to the more bizarre (fighter-jet racing). The game's dozen activities will also include slalom skiing, dodgeball, "smash badminton" and curling, each featuring the aforementioned celebrities, plus soccer star Mia Hamm, country singer Keith Urban or Nelly Furtado, boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, ice-skater Kristi Yamaguchi and more.
The game is meant to be played by a group of people using a single Wii. It's a party game, starring the A-to-C-list.
How Fergie-like is video game Fergie? Each celebrity appears in big-headed cartoonish form. They look like themselves — Fergie's got the right outfit, down to the tiara — but athletics-wise they're all the same. Fergie is as strong as football player Reggie Bush. Rimes is just as fast as Furtado.

Lame. This holiday season doesn't have my hopes up too much for the Wii.

The grandpa should have taught that little sneak a lesson and sold his Wii on Ebay for Buy It Now 1 pence!

Grandson sneaks on eBay, uses Grandpa's account to buy Wii for £197,654

Archie Lovett is one sneaky kid. Not only is he adept enough at using those computer things, but apparently he's got a good memory, too. See, he used his Grandpa's account, UK resident Ray Atkinson, on eBay, remembering the username and password, to place a £197,654 bid on a Wii. The best part? The kid already has one.
Thankfully, the eBay seller was cool about the whole thing and ended up selling it to another individual, although for a lot less than Archie's bid.
