I was offered the opportunity, as Nintendo Ambassador, to take a Wii along to a holiday party, set it up, and leave it there. I thought that sounded like fun, but when I got to the party, the TV set turned out to be out of commission. So, instead I set up the multi-colored disco ball and sleuthed around the party, sidling up to people and engaging them in conversation about the Wii. Apparently, everyone in the suburbs has one, because the person who forlornly told me that she didn't have one, but wanted one, lives in the city. So, I took her by the hand and played Ed McMahon. Shrieking ensued. I think it's gone to a good home.
Disclosure: I am a Nintendo Brand Enthusiast. They sent me the Wii system (which included Wii Sports Resort) for me to give away. They also sent me the above-mentioned disco ball, along with a copy of Wii Party - both of which are a huge hit with the seven year old. I received no compensation for this post. I have to say, though, that it was awfully fun to be able to give the Wii system away rather randomly and out of the blue!

what a nice Santa you were :-)
What a great time!
wow. merry Christmas!
I love the Wii, too. And the N64. And the super nintendo. And the original NES. We have all of them.
However, I have to say, one thing disappoints me very much about the Wii.
WHERE IS THE KATAMARI DAMACY? I had to go out and buy an old PS2 just so I could play Katamari Damacy. That just ain't RIGHT.
You did very well and wisely: Wii for the city folks and multi-colored disco ball for the suburban mothers. I want one! The disco ball I mean. :-)
oooh fun! wii party is great!
