Finally bought a Wii

Oct 8, 2007 in Personal

Finally broke down and bought a Nintendo Wii today.  I didn’t think they were still in such high demand but it took a few trips to various stores before I managed to secure a console.  Cost an extra $10 or $20 but Toys R Us had one in stock.

Haven’t bought any games yet but did rent Mario Party 8.  I’ll talk to the guys at work w/ Wii’s and see what they have/recommend.  If nothing else, I still have a few GameCube games kicking around.

Only minor problem I have involves the component AV cables I bought.  Turns out they’re a tad bit short and barely (an understatement) are able to reach between the component audio inputs and component video inputs.  I’m not sure what else to do, all of the Wii component cables I saw had the video and audio together.
