    I'm really warming to the idea of a Wii (although, like many i am not so sure about the name)

    I've seen some of those new NES systems out there with wireless remotes and am really tempted. But with downloadable retro games and the chance of old controllers i might have to think about a Wii instead.

    And this is from someone whos console collection consists of a NES and a Game Boy clear

    I concur, but whats that controller underneath it also? PC Engine???

    It wont be there to replace PC, heck nothing could replace a PC... apart from a new more upto date PC..

    but its for chilling out on.. sure you can have the lads (or lasses) round for a good ol blast on an fps or an rts or an mmopgtfsfresxyz but when you wanna have fun playing tennis with a remote control... you might need a wii..

    I'm sure they've said somewhere that they've signed up Sega to provide downloads for the old Mega Drive/Genesis games, so it makes sence to see the controller in there... shame i've never owned any of those consoles though, guess i'll have to buy new ones if I go for a Wii instead of a PS3...
