Hi, does anyone have a Nintendo Wii?
I'm thinking of getting one but want to see what everyone thinks about it before I purchase one.

What's it like? Has anyone tried the new Sports Active program?

i love my wii! my boys and my 16 month old love it as well.


i have the wii sports game that came with it.. i do not know if that is the same game. it is a great fun game....

i also have thw wii fit and wii fit game. love it! it will get your body to moving....

Love the Wii.It's a great family activity with all the different games. Wii fit is great (I don't own it yet but have used it) Don't have the new sports either but I bet it's good.
My family loves to play Rock Band 2. The girls jam on the guitar/bang on the drums or sing their little hearts out and have a blast doing it. (Of course we are careful to choose only songs that are appropriate)

We have a Wii and we love the wii sports bowling is a family fave. I find that we are able to get more family friendly game for the Wii than the XBOX 360.

Thanks guys...I'm definitely getting one now.
I can't wait!!

I saw Alison Sweeney on the Ellen show using the new Sports Active game. Looks fantastic....

We love our Wii.....I would suggest getting it from GameStop....if you want a second wiimote....try to get it used. You can usually get the wimotes and the numchucks used there much cheaper. You can also look for used guitars there for rock band and such.

The only problem that I have with it is with the compatibility between rock band and guitar hero....every other gaming system is compatable with both, except the wii.

Hey dcorn, we don't have Walmart here hon!
I think Walmart is only in the US and Canada. I wish we did. I shopped there a lot when I visited North America.
It comes w/ the Wii Sports here too. Thanks for your info.

I'm excited

Our family lvoes the Wii too, especially the bowling and my 5 year old loves the baseball. We bought ours online before Christmas and I got a great price and free shipping. Try online shopping!

Thanks GHOLTLfan...is it easy to hook up? Sometimes, the most frustrating thing is buying a new DVR and not being able to get it going!

Now, is that Ricky Paull Goldin I see in your avi?
He's so cute. When I was in LA last year for the Daytime Emmys, his room was a few doors down from mine at the hotel and I ran into him a few times in the lift. HOT!!!

aussie- it is very easy to hook-up!

I just had to add that I love our Wii. It is great for the family on rainy days and sunny days too. My Wii fit is the bomb and I have lost all my post baby lbs. using it. The Tiger Woods golf is by far my favorite family game even though my husband and our 8 year old get so competitive.
You will enjoy it.
