Surely I'm not the only one...
My friend bought himself one for his birthday, and yes the controllers are awesome! I'm not sure how well they will work with other games but with the Wii Sports it is really nice. I generally like Play Station better than Nintendo but I am really glad Nintendo is trying to develop the way you interact with the system instead of just improving graphics.
Playing with one's Wii is a LOT of fun! I picked one up last week and I have really gotten to like playing with my Wii. Wii sports is VERY fun if you have a bunch of people over. We had a group over for thanksgiving (brother, sister and sister hubby) and playing Tennis was a blast. Sadly, I also had a Wii remote casualty. I was not far enough away from other stuff around the TV and I accidentally whacked my 250gb external HDD It fell on the floor which thankfully is hardwood and so provided a nice soft landing, and the drive no longer spins up. Ahh, well, such is life - its only irreplaceable data, right?
My friend told me that a lot of people are breaking controllers becasue they end up throwing them by accident. They get so caught up in the game that they forget they are using a controler... Aparently some guy threw it by accident and it broke his laptop screen..... ouch
