Live Wii coverage!

So here I am in my first ever console line with my roommate Paul waiting on the Nintendo Wii. The wait time is about 18 hours and as of right now we've been here for 2 hours. I got my trusty blackberry helping me out and Paul has his Nintendo DS. In addition we brought my iPod with a movie loaded on it. So the first two hours went quick! Anyways I'll probably add some pictures later (: And we'll definately throw on a review once we get it (I'm still not sure if I'm buying one lol)

Update: Well we got the Wii after almost 19 hours of wait! I just want to say that it's a ONCE in a life time opportunity lol, but it was fun all in all. We ended up getting home around 1am and playing till 3:30. It's a lot of fun even though feels a little awkward in the beginning.

Are you sold on the technology? or is it gimmicky?

I haven't played Zelda yet, but from what Paul told me it's awesome. Trauma Center is awesome on the Wii as well, we've been playing it every day. Sports are so much fun to play on the Wii. I loved playing tennis! I am definitely sold on the technology, it takes a bit to get used to, but it's amazing. I'll ask Paul to maybe throw some reviews on here. I think he put on a bunch of videos on Gamespot.com where he shows the Wii and talks about some of the games. More to come! (:
