Great for them...the Wii finaly has a use (though it is still not as good as a much cheaper BD-Live player).
Also, why do people keep calling the wii a current-gen system? It is clearly last-gen in almost every regard. Sure, they are still making it...but sony is still making the PS2...and the PS2 is not a current-gen console. The f**king PSP is a better home-only console than the wii!

The PSP is terrible. I have a hacked one and it collects dust.
There. What we both said is an opinion.

Yes true. Mine collects dust here and there. I can count how long it sits between major game releases, ie. Punch Out to New Super Mario Bros. However when I do play games it will be worth my time to do so.

Mine does. It's quite dusty. The last thing I put was Red Steel 2 in it. Wasn't that impressed really.
