I got a Wii last week. A friend had put our name in the hat at the local PX (Post Exchange) to be able to buy one of the several they had in stock. Providentially, my wife happened to walk in when they were about to draw the names and they had our kids pull the names out of the box. We were one of the families selected.
It cost us $249 and no tax. I've bought a couple more controllers and numchucks too and a few games.
I haven't played on a console in probably 10 years but this thing is fun for the whole family. My friend let me borrow Tiger Wood's golf the other day and I ended up buying his extra copy. My wife and I played 18 holes together when the kids were asleep. It just seems so real when you're actually standing in front of the TV and swinging your controller. It was funny seeing my very pregnant wife try to swing the controller (she used one arm and it made it much easier).
Anyway, we're really happy with the console and have games that are fun for the family.
