 Over a year ago I was deciding on what to get my kids for as a gaming console to replace their Nintendo Gamecube. I looked at the Sony Playstation 3 as well as Microsoft’s XBOX 360. The graphics and games available for the PS3 and the XBOX were great for me but not so much for my kids. In addition, my kids had numerous Gamecube games that they could play on a Wii as it is backwards compatible. So I decided on trying out a Wii if I could get one that is. So I searched for a few weeks and actually stumbled upon one at a local Wal-Mart and bought it….

Since birthdays and the holidays were far away and “I” was wanting to play with it too, I made a deal with my kids. The deal was that if they saved up half the money for a Wii that I would put in the other half. We shook on it….. Within a week they had painted fences, raided their piggy banks, and had made up their share much to my surprise. Its amazing what kids can do when they have a goal!

Now the hard part, they knew that Wii’s were is short supply and thought that they were not going to get one for that reason. Lucky for me, we already had one! Did I say lucky? So we gave them their prized Wii and words cannot describe their reaction.

So now with an extra controller and nunchuck, two gamecube controllers (for their old games), numerous new Wii games, Wii points cards, connection to our wireless access point, etc. we live our lives with Wii included.  With the active games, backwards compatability, wireless access, etc., there is no question that this is the best game console I ever purchased for my kids period.
