I finally got a Wii this morning. I didn't get it from Target, or Circuit City, or Best Buy, or Gamestop, who were all advertising that they'd have them in stock. No, I walked into my local Costco 5 minutes after it opened and got the second-to-last Wii on the pallet.
Then I had to drive around and finally found a set of Wii component cables at Best Buy. It definitely makes a huge difference on my TV for Zelda, let me tell you.
I finally got my wireless working and am downloading updates now. I'll be checking out the various games I have before I go full-length into Zelda. Speaking of which...I had to buy the bundle at Costco which included Zelda and Excitetruck, and I already had a copy of Zelda. Anyone interested in buying a new copy--the cellophane is even still on (it's not the one from the bundle, it's the other one). My dad might still have the receipt so I could send it back to him, and it's not like the game is hard to find from what I can tell, but hey, I figured I would offer.
Game on,
