After one day, what can I say about the Nintendo Wii? One word:

AWESOME!

Nintendo did what they set out to do. They ignored the super-fast hardware that Microsoft and Sony are concentrating on, they eschewed DVD players and HD, and what did they come out with? A system based on fun, and that's exactly what you get. I tired of video game tennis 5 minutes after the first time I ever played, but the Wii makes a simple game exciting again. And the highlight launch game, the new Legend of Zelda.... WOW!

And it's cheap, too. $250 for the system, $100 for two extra games beyond the sports game it comes with, $60 for a second remote/controller setup, and $20 for component cables so I can get 480i instead of the 480i that is standard. Loving it!
