I just want to say that we opened the Wii yesterday to test it and download the updates (which takes a bit of time). We had a BALL playing with it. It is a gift for my grandson but my grown son really had fun it with and I had to try out the bowling and baseball. The sports games are a really good way to test the system out. There are so many cute features that I didn't know about. One is the Mii set up. You create your own characters by selecting facial features, colors, height, (and width!). You can also send email, view the internet, buy more games, etc. etc. My grandson is 10 and I think he will love this gift at Christmas!
