Wii

If you have one, do you absolutely love it?  Or did you get over it quickly?  DH and I are considering getting ourselves one for our birthdays next month.

    We don't use ours that often.  Our friends have it right now and we don't even notice that it's gone.  I don't think that we had used it in months.  I love MarioKart for the Wii!

    I got a Wii and Wii Fit for grad school graduation in May. I used it for 2 weeks and haven't used it since. I thought I'd play it all the time since I always used my parents' Wii when I would visit them in NC. I think it was just a cure for my boredom at my parents' house.  I actually prefer playing our Xbox 360 with DH :p

    we just bought one yesterday!! FI has been dying for a new tv, and i got tired of stopping him and he had rationalized buying a new tv once again. he bought me a wii (it was dubbed my wedding gift, which i'm good with!) so that i have something to do while he's playing warcraft for hours. i've wanted one forever so i'm totally pumped! my close friend loves her so much. i'm still trying to figure it all out. :)

    We actually don't play it as much as we thought we would.  We did constantly for a few months, but very rarely now.  Kinda sucks we spent so much $$ on it.  Maybe we just need some new games, though.  We only have a few.  I did almost buy that new Sports Resort this weekend at Costco.  I may go back and get it - it looks fun.

    We had one and it is a lot of fun!  We ALWAYS played it when we had friends over and then occasionally by ourselves.  Haha, but then a few of our friends got them too and we played ours less and less.  DH ended up selling it and buying a XBox instead, since he is obsessed with sports games (like Madden and hockey, etc) and those weren't that good on the Wii.

    Mike wanted it, I didn't really care. He uses it every few weeks, but not that much. We may use it more if my foot hasn't broken right when we got it, but I am not so sure. I have never been a video game fan. I just don't have the patience. :P  I tried the Winter Sports games and nearly threw the controller through the window in frustration.

    Hmm, that's what I'm afraid of, we'd get it and quit playing it after a couple weeks.  We have an Xbox 360, so DH has all his sports games through that, and we have Guitar Hero.  We always get the new Guitar Hero games when they come out, and we play it for a week or two, and that's it.  I'm just afraid Wii would end up being the same thing.  I just wish we could get Super Mario Kart for xbox, I think that's the only reason I really want the Wii!

    We have one (got it as a wedding present though)- and I still love it almost 4 months later! I am not much of a video game person, keep in mind. We haven't played it a lot lately, but that's just b/c I have been keeping myself busy with other things...I think once fall/winter comes, we will be playing it more. I LOVE Mario Kart for Wii, and I reeeally want the news Sports one.

    We have one as well.  We'll get a new game for it and play all the time- then slow down.  I love it though- its fun to paly when guests come over.

    FI bought it for me and my daughter for a xmas gift.  I played it like crazy.  Mario Kart took over every minute of my life for a month or two then I quit.  I HAD to have WiiFit, used it twice.  My self-esteem takes such a beating I decided to never touch it again.  We dust it off and change the batteries when we get company.

    We're the same as everyone else. We played it a ton when I got it for Christmas, and then not so much since. I think when I move to FI's it might get played more because more friends will be closer by to come play.

    We never use ours.  The last time we used it was at the beach last September.  DH would rather play Warcraft, I prefer my treadmill for exercise, and I love TV too much to give that up.  It just doesn't work for us.

    We got one for Christmas and really enjoy it.  We don't play too much on our own, but always play when friends come over.  I agree with Kim-Mario Kart is super fun!  We got the Wii fit in May and I use it a few times a week-I have 3 different games for the Fit and do each one once a week.
