I bought one for VeggieFrog's b/f for XMas. We teased him to no end, saying how they were sold out and we couldn't find one and etc.

He got it set up on boxing day and has pretty much stayed on it since.

:)

Still waiting as well. I'm going to have to pick up a second controller when I get mine which ups the price to $310 :disgust:

It is extremely cool, monk3y. I got mine on Wednesday and have been playing it since. Wii Sports is an awesome game for coming with the system, and Zelda is my favorite Zelda game yet.

I know I could just look it up but what sport games come with that sports thing?

Golf (my favorite, and I'm not even a big fan of golf), Bowling, Tennis, Boxing, Baseball. I think golf, bowling and tennis are all awesome. Baseball and boxing are so-so.

Is baseball any harder when you play against another human opponent?

No. It's very simplistic pitching and batting, so I don't think it's any harder against a human.

not really. its kinda hard to throw balls or strike out. not to mention very easy to hit home runs.

I can't get my Wii online, it sees my network, accepts my password and security settings, but won't connect. Looks like I'm buying the USB Ethernet adapter :p

Boxing, bowling, and tennis are fun. I've found batting in baseball to be pretty hard. I also picked up Super Monkey Ball because of the good reviews, but some of the mini-games feel very rushed, like Whack-a-Mole - it is WAY too easy to make your hammer disappear off-screen, then you spend too long trying to get it back to center. I'm hoping future games will develop a better handle on the control system. Zelda has the controls nailed down pretty well. I'm thinking about trying out Elebits or Rayman (the one where you shoot plungers at bunnies), anyone try those yet?

I've got my 2nd Wiimote and nunchuck, still waiting on the Wii itself. My fiancee has been trying to get one for a while. Can't wait!
