Thinking about getting a Wii for my 8yr old (and me:) ) I'm guessing the main unit would need to be near my Denon AVR, so I can have the sound through the Axioms. A little concerned if the control bar will be able to reach below the screen in the PorterPlex? hmmmmmm

That would be tons of fun playing the games on a big screen. 
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

I decided to go ahead and get the Wii with a couple games for the kids (maybe that will keep them away from my 360 )
Where did you get it? My twelve year old wants a new gameing machine. I'm contemplating this Wii or a 360. I think I'd prefer him to have a Wii seeing how he'd actually have to do something physical.

I bought mine on E-bay, I actually got a good price considering the demand, with the games and controllers I figured I paid about $50.00 over what the retail cost would have been. EBgames is selling them for shipment on 12/18, I just didn't want all the games and extras they put in their bundle.
Right now the best deal is the 360 since you can get them anywhere, and the games really are something on an HD setup.

For what it's worth, I have a PS3 and a Wii. I was fortunate enough to have inside info where I work and bought both. I knew I wanted the Wii, wasn't sure about the PS3 but figured I'd get it. It's still sitting in it's box waiting for my big screen to arrive but the Wii is out and being played. Nintendo has a great rep with kids, lots of kid orientated games, encourages them to have FUN, and is working the virtual console angle with lots of old school titles to be released and available for download in the coming months. It's hard to imagine a kid being disappointed opening one Christmas morning. For me (a movie buff) the PS3 makes more sense. As does a 360 and HD-DVD add-on. Maybe I'm the wrong person to ask

My M80's make my ears hear
Either way - I'm not deaf anymore

I've always been a fan of Nintendo making games you can just pick up and play... I'm not investing my life into becoming a max level Half-Orc/Half-Gelatinous-Cube Numenorean Runic Bard, I just want to grab a controller, and stuff a few red turtles up someone's exhaust pipe.
But I'm no one's target audience.

Jake I'll have to agree with you, Bren that was one classic line, now if you'll exuse me I'm gonna wipe the wine off my keyboard.
