I'd say it's a complete waste of money. I had one that I got as a gift, and bought a few games, which all sucked. Super Smash Bros. was the biggest disappointment ever, and all the other games I played sucked aswell. Then I just sold it. The Wii Sports disc was pretty awesome though.

Naw, it's not that special. There are only a few good games out there, but even then, they'll get boring.

I got my PC to game on. I'll probably never go to anything else.

Wii is fun when you have a group of people over, if that. I also have a Wii but it never gets used.

This happened to me too. Just save the money and buy some better hardware.

If you're some kind of power gamer, I can see the wii not being fun. If I was single, or if I did nothing but game, I'd probably not have one. However, my wife (who hates video games) will play it with me and our 3 year old has a great time bowling and trying to do other things on it.

It's entertaining when you have a few friends over and are bored, and wii fit is actually a pretty good fitness device for people that don't ever work out or go to the gym.

If you have kids it's almost a must have.
