After about 3 weeks of looking for one, I finally got a Wii. I waited an hour in line to get it, but it was well worth it. This is the most fun I've had playing video games in several years. I'm not a huge fan of video games b/c I feel like I'm wasting my time sitting around - but I LOVE games that get you up and moving. I've spent many quarters playing games like Samba De Amigo, Taiko Drummer, and Mocap Boxing (boxing\exercise game at Dave and Busters) in the arcade. Wii Sports matches or beats all of those games. 5 games in 1 that come with the system, can't beat that!
As I write this my arms are kind of sore from many hours of Wii sports, I think I will take a break from the game tomorrow :) Looking forward to some more fun times with the Wii. I'm thinking about stopping by a sports store and getting some 1 lb weights to put on my wrists while boxing... then I can make it a workout like Mocap Boxing. Anyone tried this?
I've found a lot of good Mii sites online - thought I would share the one I made with everyone.

They didn't have the option for green hair in the Mii channel but I think it's pretty darn close
My Bruce Lee - the hair isn't quite right but close!
