I like the fact that the wii is becoming the next ps2, with lots of cheap games. This weekend I bought 3 wii games: Worms ($12.50), Destroy All Humans (12.50) and Boom Blox ($29).
Those may not be AAA games but their price tag is good enough to warrant a purchase, even if they're just average games.

I think the Wii is the king of 'average' games that are good enough to buy at a good price. Tony Hawk Downhill Jam and Metal Slug Anthology spring to mind immediatly, with Downhill Jam being (imo) the most underrated game on the Wii.
On another note, Disaster: Day of Crisis is pretty damn good, tho i'm a huge fan of 'natural disaster' movies like The Core, The Day After Tomorrow, Deep Impact etc so to find a game thats pretty much a 'natural disaster' game is pure gold to me. The graphics are pretty good for the Wii too and the controls are spot on.

Is it just me? Or are they already sold out.

They've all sold out on walmart.com . I got a Wii at midnight when they came out, I feel sorry for those who still can't.

$460 for the Wii + Wii Fit? Last I checked, the wiifit doesn't cost $210. Please tell me it's a typo or for 2 wii fits and a game or something like that.
Anyone still looking should come to NYC, I see them in every store I walk into.
