Its when your microwave starts up and your telly turns channel whilst using the Wii controller that you really have to worry hehehehehehe

I can't imagaine using the wii controller. Like yourself, I am worried that I kill something like telly, hi-fi, etc.

Hubby got one for himself with his Xmas money.

Watching the 5-year-old box is hilarious; she really gets into it. I just wiggle the controller a bit.

Hubby played Zelda non-stop, and his wrists were fine. The new Zelda is awesome! Great plot, 60 hours of play (and he skipped some of the side-plots). Monsters seemed easier than usual, but we think that was intentional; they weren't sure about the control system and too hard would turn folks off more than too easy. The storyline makes up for it.

I got the Sonic game with it. Haven't tried that out yet, still having fun with the little sport games that come with the box.

I had to revive this thread

We (apparently) have a wii at the drop in I attend (for people with mental health issues, never mind Im healthy, its for AS folk too)

I only found this out on our website, I have been attending since xmas and never seen it.

So I got them to get it out tonight and we had a great time playing target shooting and table tennis.

I dont know how such a wonderfull item got past me...or anyone else.

The drop in is for people to socialise, but really they only stay for supper, then hie off to the church function to get more food.....

I got my social worker to get it out when we were alone, but next week, I think we will set it up earlier, people might stay longer

It does seem that the Wee...oops I mean Wii is doing well. The Xbox 360s aren't doing too well and I am waiting for my 2nd one to crash now. I have cancelled my Gold membership to the Xbox Live (online service) and will later this year buy a more reliable games consoole call a PS3.

About 2/3 years ago, I wouldn't have said that and with hindsight I would have bought a PS1 I saw in Asda about then, kept it until the PS3 would come out last year.

They find Wii-s are great for seniors homes. They're much more intuitive than the finicky thumb controllers, and use more of the large muscles.

Met, the XBox360 comes with a very good warranty, at least over here. One of the three factories did something wrong with the cooling system, so the "three rings of death" are common. They have the exchanges down to a couple of days (at first it was terrible) and they pay the shipping both ways. The courier knew exactly what the big empty box they sent us was for.

Cheers!
