I bought one last year & my wife & I didn't like it. Sold it on Craigslist to the person w/ the "saddest story". I felt just like the Make A Wish Foundation (you know, w/o actually really helping anyone).
Hey, the Wii's awesome. I love mine. Still, I'm a college kid, and I see no reason to take advantage of the high demand and resell a few off at a higher price. Helps pay the bills.
I also purchased a Wii and didn't like it. I honestly haven't played it since I bought it. I hated the video quality. Even on 480p setting, it still looked like complete crap upscaled to my 46" 1080p Samsung. The jaggies were huge! Also, I haven't purchased any games in addition to Wii Sports. Most of the games are just gimmicks or have better version on the Xbox 360, which I own. Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid games aren't for me. I find them too childish and they don't have any real fun value to them vs. the games on the Xbox 360 such as Halo 3, COD 4, among others. I also hate the lack of surround sound in the Wii. The friend code thing is really bad and useless. Browsing the Internet on the Wii sucks because it is SD. You really need HD to view the Internet. I recommend not buying the Wii, especially if you have an Xbox 360 or an HDTV already. If you don't have an Xbox 360, I would definitely recommend that instead.
- you bought a Wii, but don't like Nintendo-style games. - you think all the games are gimmicky or better elsewhere, but you've never bought any. - you think the Friends code system sucks, but you've never had the chance to use it in a game, since you've never bought any. - jesus will not be saving you, i'm afraid.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

Wii is sold out in San Diego everywhere. If i could, I'd buy one everyday to resell overpriced.

Why didn't you like the Wii? Video quality or something else?
I am still making my mind about buying one, so I am really interested in feedback.

Yeah, so let me get this straight:
- you bought a Wii, but don't like Nintendo-style games.
- you think all the games are gimmicky or better elsewhere, but you've never bought any.
- you think the Friends code system sucks, but you've never had the chance to use it in a game, since you've never bought any.
- jesus will not be saving you, i'm afraid.
