Oh nothing at all. I just let my friend have it as he has been looking one for ages and I'm not that bothered.

Zelda have played them before though on gameboy, and was one of the reasons to buy it.

Yup its a fantastic bit of kit that's for sure , a big success in our house , my arms an shoulders are aching today from baseball, tennis, and bowling, Cant do the short strokes on Golf , need more practise .
But Zelda !.... that is the game of all games and worth the price of console alone . I thought Ocarina of Time was good but TP is absolutely out of this world .
BTW the daughter was playing bowls last night and was in the kitchen with the remote ! the TV is in the lounge , so how the hell does that work ?
Try it you'll see what I mean .

Oh no. The Tv has developed some CRT spotting on the screen

Time for a new tele!!

Of course, it is probably just in need of de-gaussing, but........**** it. New TV!

Need another anyway - since Christmas Day, the 360 has been turned on once. Can't get near it for the bloody Wii

Well we had a big gathering on xmas day (15 people) and the wii went on at 1pm and was on constantly and being played till about 11pm, so so much fun better than anything that has been before it.

Trying my hardest to get a copy of play but it seems as rare as the console itself!

Same here - my 360 is so much better, but theres barely a game my folks can play on it.

Xmas day had us all playing for 3 hours ish, killing ourselves laughing and mum enjoyed it so much cos she could work it and take part. Thats what its eant for and thats what Nintendo do

Now, just need Zelda, Monkey Ball and my component lead to arrive!

Technically the 360 and PS3 are better.....but game-wise it's just a new version of Pro Evo or whatever. Same old stuff, better grafix.


The Wii however is great fun and has playability on your own or with others. Unfortunatley, I don't think my brother will let me have his!

Nope no joy with any online retailers, argos dont even sell it separately and dont do store reservations online of any wii stuff, not the end of the world, will probably buy Call of Duty 3 and Zelda whilst I wait!
