Oprah knows where the fun is at

She's waited this long? She's stinking OPRAH.

Oh, maybe she's just now getting around to getting one that doesn't still say "Revolution" on it.

That was sarcasm, FYI. I mean that Oprah probably has the power to get a Wii long before it ever even came out.

On a side note, I bet Ellen already has one.

is this a freaking celebrity blog now??? don't waste my time.

Yeah, I so care to know an overrated talk celeb is getting our precious Wii and becoming ANOTHER casual that will buy Major League Eating. :P

Thats one weird looking Oprah. What if she gives one to all the audience this year for her Oprahs favorite stuff!!! ZOMG, I need to get to her show!

Oh shush guys. If it was a random kid picking it up, you'd care a lot more. Just because you hate celebrity gossip, doesn't mean celebrities don't exist.
Look, it's a famous person buying a Wii. Props to Wii, the Wii gets points.

To anyone wondering why this is significant, it's not the Oprah just bought a Wii. That in of its self is no big deal, but what matters is how much influence Oprah has over her audience. Now we all know that the Wii by no means needs Oprah's help, and it's doing just fine without her endorsement. That said, her endorsement will only further drive sales and excitement for our favorite console. Oprah is extremely influential, especially in the housewife and retired people demographic (i.e. teh casuals), so if she even mentions the Wii on her show there are certain people who had no interest in gaming suddenly clamoring for their very own "that little white box that I saw Oprah bowling on her TV with".

Great! Now every mini-van driving soccer mom who worships Oprah is going to get a Wii (if they haven't already) and will further push gaming into an abyss from which it will never return. Where there only games made are games like WiiMusic and WiiFit. (Which aren't actual games)

I'm joking...kinda.

i believe she was buying it for someone else, for like a birthday present or something

I want her friend codes
