Anyone else going to give in to their inner child and buy one of these (for the sake of the kids ) on 7th December??

I can't wait to have a go!

Nooooooooooooooooo!

OMG, now you can bowl from the comfort of your lounge room! Why go out at all? Avoid ALL human contact!
What a bonus these will be when Bird Flu hits.

Hey - the old git bowling is me - so be careful what you say

iPom

I don't know if you read Philip K Dick (Bladerunner/Electric Sheep) but this is exactly the sort of thing that he had nightmares about in the future.... I'm with him.

So, when you say you moved here for the outdoor lifestyle...

I can tell this is Steve... what does Mich think of your plans?


This is the perfect gift for an agoraphobic...

I could try and justify it by saying I will get more excersise than if iu were to play regular console games!

There - I've convinced myself!

iPom

You could stop playing regular console games and switch the TV off and go for a real bowling alley with the kids...

stevemich

Ellie is only coming up to 3, and would probably forget to let go of the ball!!

iPom

Oh excuses, excuses.

We have the eye toy for the plastation, had an hilarious Christmas day last year everyone trying to do the assault courses, getting a right sweat on Son loves the bowling on it, and the dj and assault course has him in hysterics and wears him out That's the only time we ever use the playstation though probably once a month (before ipom tells me off )

Make sure you pre-order it. I'm heading off to Myers next week to order mine (whoops, sorry, I meant the boy's).

p.s. we'll have to wait a little while for the good games. Zelda is the only launch game I'll be buying.

stevemich

I pre-ordered at Toys R Us - put $50 deposit and get a free game (as well as the bundled Wii Sports) on launch..

JaneandJim

Did they give you a price? At Myer they're guessing $399 and you get $600 worth of Nintendo vouchers. I know I won't use all of them but I will use some, cos you only get one of each kind of controller with the WII so I'll need more.

gedge

are you a fan?

iPom

A fan? Not sure I could be described as one, but I like his stuff, yes, though some of it is too trippy. I like a lot of science fiction, Asmimov, Greg Bear etc, amongst other genres.
