Yea I've had mine for about 3 weeks so far, Wii Sports is more than I could ask for a free pack in, the games are all fun and the many training games/modes are perhaps even more fun. I like golf even though I hear most people rank it as the least liked game I think, once I got the feel for swinging it felt very rewarding to sink puts and chip ins with the wii mote. I think I really like golf because its the deepest and hardest game of the 5 (I think) sports, plus I find the motions quite accurate. Tennis and Boxing are the most all out fun though.

I have to say so far the Wii is probably the greatest system to play with a lot of buddies (I think I'm the only one I know who has two wiimotes and nunchucks, since I bought the extra set before the Wii launch thankfully), especially at parties, with 4 players, people were really getting into it last few weekends, a bunch of us get together for poker so naturally we set up the wii, gamers and non gamers were going nuts playing on it, even spectators were getting into it. I definately would say they wouldent have had that much fun had it been on any other console. For that I give Nintendo props, as they definately proven they can entertain people who normally wouldent even play games (especially girls which I find is a nice bonus).

Even currently most of the games for the Wii I would say are very raw (ehem, Red Steel), once they polish the new control interface, and squeeze out more graphic potential of the Wii, this should be a good system. Moving on to Zelda, I think some of the motion controls were tacked on, but the aiming system works perfectly, if only they added real time sword control. From what I heard this will be the last Zelda game in this form, and the next Wii version has been in the works for a year now, while TP to me is an awesome continuation of Ocarina of Time, I truly cant wait for the new built for the Wii from the ground up version of Zelda.

Anyone remember when everyone thought the name change to Wii was a horrible pr move, and many people, like mech and so forth said they would never buy one, something similar except I think its a resonable excuse. No wonder the 2 people I know who have psps have sold it, sorry to beat on the horse but this is so ugly I thought it should be seen. Enjoy!

Trying to use the tilt and the pointer at the same time with any reasonable sense of accuracy is horrible. It won't work, and I've played with the pointer/tilt/nunchuk/gesture functionality all at once.
