If I were estimating, and taking into account the current RRP for the basic console + Wii sports game of £179.99...I would guess that by Christmas you'll be looking at £144.99 or thereabouts.

the wii is excellent ,i would highly recommend it and the boxing on wii sports is great at getting the heart muscle working. better then sitting on your arse.

I'd guess around that, it depends what supply is like through this year - they had some in stock in southampton a couple of days back, so i take it theyve been redistrubuted again!

Super extra special insider tip Laura... Morrisons ALWAYS have them, but they don't publically advertise that they sell the console, you have to go to the counter and ask. They usually have a few dozen out the back - it's because of this little beauty we had one for Christmas

The best single gameplayer game I've played on the Wii so far is Resident Evil 4. I've not finished it yet but I'm dreading completing this game. Its so good I could almost cry.

Zelda..?

 

[Easy 10]

Not played that - I'm not really into those "fantasy" type games, althouggh I have heard Zelda is good.

It's immense in terms of the use of every aspect of the Wii.. the bow/arrow feature is great.. I've not played any of the R.E games since R.E1 on the PlayStation. I got annoyed because you had to collect ink cartridges or something in order to save the game :S

You don't on RE4. You just come across various save points in the game, save it as often as you like. You DO still have to conserve ammo though - best to learn how to carve them up on the floor with your knife to save a few bullets early on at least.

Seriously considering getting this, been reading a few reviews IGN GameSpot etc.. looks blinding

I can't speak highly enough of it. The controls are so intuitive, the graphics splendid, and there are a couple of FANTASTIC set pieces to play through. Some of the weapons are great fun as well - favourite at the moment is the gun that fires a "sticky mine" that clings to the clothes before detonating....SPLAT ! marvellous.

This game is genius. You could hardly spend a better £30.

Quick question - Are the Wii additional motion related features on Zelda and Resi 4 any good then? I played through them both when they were out on gamecube and were both bloody amazing - did I miss much that means I should give them another spin now I have a wii?

 

[Scoffers]

If they released Cricket 2008 for the Wii I think I'd cream in my pants.

Imagine it, being able to actually bat and bowl, that would be awesome!

 

[Deductions]

I'm very tempted to get a Wii - has anyone else on here got one?

Would you recommend getting one and are there any particular games that you would recommend?

Cheers

I'd recommend forget the cartoony Wii shit and get an Xbox 360.
