I take my time before buying things and for a couple of years I had been joking about buying an XBox. When the time to buy came, I researched and decided on a Wii. It exceeded anything I could have expected. The two points which sold me are 1) you have to get up off the couch and get active to play and 2) the focus isn’t so much on violence, blood and killing. I’m a senior citizen and my daughter picked this up for me. We played it until our arms were numb and she is looking to get her own Wii so we can play on-line. I check the daily weather and news stories on my Wii and my friends and I will soon start a bowling league. For the price, you can’t beat this system. If I were paying 50 cents for every game I played, it would have paid for itself in a month or two. The software selection is great and the prices are reasonable. I rate the Wii right up there with the Internet and the ATM. Get yours and you’ll see.

I initially bought this vacuum because it was highly rated here on Amazon and it was about as expensive as getting my previous vacuum fixed. This vacuum is very light, and it “sucks” better than any vacuum that I’ve had, making it extremely effective for cleaning carpet as well as picking up other dust and dirt. It’s inexpensive enough to be a throwaway item.

This product delivers exactly how it is advertised!! And it is the only grooming tool I have found that does this. I would recommend the Furminator to any pet owner.

Expensive but had to have it since I’m in school. Glad for free upgrade to 2010 version – took the sting out of paying a high price for a product code key!

I love this product. If you made an investment and got Uppa Baby Vista stroller then you must have this adapter. I love the idea that when I go shopping I don’t have to carry the car seat with my baby in my hands. It makes my life so much easier (or lighter), knowing that I don’t have to carry around 20 pounds of extra weight especially after a C-section.

Well, the Wii is a good console, but the motion controls work poorly and the games are for 3 year olds. Kirby’s Epic YARN?!?!?!?! Get a PS3 unless your 2. If you want motion controls, wait for the sony move.

Wanna have even more FUN with loved ones? Wanna spend more time with someone, but can’t get past awkward conversations? Wanna stream movies and TV shows to your TV, as you like? Turn on the wii, baby (& get Netflix)! From canoeing with family members, to swordfighting with friends, to cow-racing with acquaintances, to watching old episodes of Fraggle Rock, wii will have you laughing, rowing, slashing, lassoing (a la Indy!), and yes, now watching for as long as you can stand it! We’ve had our wii about six months, and it just got better! We just started our Netflix subscription a few weeks ago, and we love that too! With a Netflix subscription that includes the ability to stream, if you’ve got an internet connection to your house, you can watch any one of TONS of movies and TV shows (stuff you can’t get on OnDemand!) My beau was especially excited about the 21 Jump Street Episodes Be prepared to spend more than just the purchase price for the wii – there are lots of fun extras that you kinda need, extra wii-motes and nun-chucks, in addition to the games (tip: always read the reviews on the games, I’ve bought a doozey or two, & if i had read the reviews here on amazon, I would have saved my $$ for a better game). But, if you have kids or you are even just a couple who goes out a lot, the wii (& now, netflix) may save you some money in the end, and you’ll spend more time together, doing fun stuff. And after all, isn’t that what life’s all about?

Thanks to wii and netflix, we eat at home more (saves money, gas, & calories); watch fewer commercials (they’re bad for the psyche AND the wallet!); are more active with our entertainment; spend more time with family & friends; spend less time aimlessly channel-surfing; enjoy more varieties of entertainment, like documentaries, old TV shows, and musician stuff; are more conservative with spending $7-15 per person to see a movie in the theatres (that we hopefully will enjoy!); and actually look forward to spending time at ho
