My poor mother drove herself crazy trying to land a Wii for her baby boy's big Christmas gift, but was unlucky in her travels across Northeast Ohio. However, The Creator certainly deserves an "A" for effort.

However, thanks to the power of the internet and itrackr.com we were able to nab one in early January at a local Target. Since then, I have had multiple husbands drag their poor wives to my house for demos of this wonderful little system. So far, we appear to be batting .500 in our sales pitch. In fact, my wife is probably the best Wii sales person I have seen!

I truly do love the Wii (insert gay joke here). It is Nintendo's classic triumph of gameplay over graphics. By no means does it look like a crappy 8-bit game, but it certainly is no Gears of War. Zelda is fantastic and the family loves Wii sports. Throw in the classics on Virtual Console and I am in heaven. Well done Nintendo!

If only I didn't have to sleep... :(
