    I've got a Nunchuck in each hand....and I'm not afraid to use them :D
  • I'm not fighting, I'm laughing at someones thinly veiled dissatisfaction at not having the get up and go to do something useful with their lives, and taking the easy option (which is most likely why they are in that predicament) by taking the p*ss out of people who do.

    Is it right though that so many people are making money out of these poor sods who just want to make their kids happy? I think it smacks of exploitation myself.

    Are you referring to the Ebay sellers? How are they exploiting anyone? Most of the Wii's are listed at 99p with no reserve, it's up to the buyers to set the asking price by bidding against each other and setting their own upper price. This is the way that auctions work, whether they are on the Internet or 'real life' auctions.

    Oh, it is explotation all right. The only question is who's doing the exploiting. IMHO, Nintendo is the culprit.

    I hate this soft 'awww, think of the poor widdle kiddie widdies' approach. That just smacks of manipulation.

    You're not laughing at 'thinly veiled dissatisfaction' but at the desperate parents who will pay over the odds
