Anyone have a Wii?

I have been reading bit about it and it sounds ace. I am not thinking of getting one, but I would love to know if it is any good and whether it is as innovitive as it sounds.

    I played with one today and it was so good! I got a strike on my first go at bowling!

    But my idea of a good game is tetris.

  • i'm looking for a wii, but do you have gamertags like the xbox 360, and if so what is the highest amount of characters you can use for a name

  • I actually work in the game industry and the Wii is the single most exciting and innovitive product there has been for years. It is ace - a real must buy whether into games or not. It also doubles up as a fun form of exercise ;)

    As for gamertags - they go one better and you create a Mii - basically a 3D character of yourself - truly inspired machine.
    Though don;t pay over the odds - they will be available everywhere post christmas
    Play up Pompey!
  • See, i'm just hoping when i get a wii and make a mii, nintendosensei isn't taken

  • I got a Wii yesterday, and it is just brilliant. You get surprisingly tired if you put some effort into it, and you sort of feel more rewarded when you win. It sounds a bit stupid but it is true.

    The graphics and stuff aren't cutting edge, but thats not what the Wii is about.

    Get one, I can assure you, you will not be disappointed (unless you bought one fleabay for £400+:eek: )

    :beer:
  • In a word: brilliant. By far the most fun I've had playing games in years.

    I get knackered boxing and dh fights like a girl :D

    I'm not into game consoles but my son bought a Wii earlier this month and it's great for technophobes like me.

    Im looking forward to playing on the one I bought my sister for christmas, its annoying the thing is in my room and I cant play it.
  • Well, despite saying I wasn't going to get one, I sold loads of stuff on ebay and got one a couple of days ago. What a fantastic device! It is going to be so much more than a games console and the opportunity for innovation in the way games are played is amazing. I am loving golf by that way, although I have not had time to ply Zelda yet as two ill children have taken priority.:o
