Nintendo Wii

Finally I got my Nintendo Wii. A friend lined up outside a Target store and bought one for me. Well, I have always been a computer game fan and had never own a game console before. What set Wii apart from other game consoles like the PS3 & Xbox360 is how Wii keeps the player's whole body involved. Instead of just exercising my fingers, I can exercise my whole body while having fun. My job requires me to sit in front of the computer all day and most my after work entertainment is sitting in front of my computer at home again, either surfing the web or play computer games. With the Wii, I can at least get my butt off the chair to play "tennis", "baseball", "bowling", "golf" or "boxing". The Wii comes with the "Wii Sports" game which includes the games mentioned above. What makes the Wii unique is the Wii Remote and the Remote sensor. You use the remote just like a tennis racket when you are playing tennis or your swing it like the baseball bat when play the baseball game. The Will also has the built-in WiFi capability. Connecting the Wii to my home Wi-Fi Internet access is easy. I can check world wide weather and news and other fun activity with other Wii channels. In all, I love my Wii a lot, instead of playing video games passively in the couch, I now can get some exercise as well. Below are some pictures I took right after I had the chance to open the box and setting it up when I returned from work late at night, sorry about the picture quality.
