So, I went down to the Huntsville Alabama Best Buy, and asked if they had the Wii. "Eight or nine", said the employee in blue. Then I woke up.

Does anyone know if you can download trial demos of virtual console games? There are a few Turbografx games I'm interested in, but I'm sure as hell not blowing $8 and end up downloading a piece of crap.

Fuck, I'm waiting for the black Wii to come out.

After my black DS, I'm bored of black electronics now 100%. I'm thinking about buying a silver PStwo just to change things up. I wish they released that bright fucking green Wii they showed back in the early Revolution days.

My Game Boy Color is lime green. It was cool after the first few years, but it did get old after a while. I like this "everything's gotta be white" fad, only because white is the closest thing to NES/SNES/PS1 gray. And yes, I actually miss my gaming systems being gray.

Bright/Neon Green and Bright yellow are my two favorite colors ever.

This silver bullshit has gotta be stopped. Silver was cool in like 1999, but I'm sick of it. My GBA SP was silver, and the paint job was just horrible. Plus I couldn't take it out in public, because everyone thought I had some sort of fancy make-up mirror. I actually went back to playing my old white GBA.

Yeah, I don't know why gaming companies have been unable to master the color of silver. Remember when everyone was clamoring for that gold N64 controller?

Even when the paint is good, I still don't like silver. The shininess just looks fucking tacky. I wish they'd just bring back gray. Or better yet, faux wood paneling.

I was just about to say that, I'd kill for a black Wii with the side panels having a veneer finish.

And not shiny black either, flat fucking black.

What are they going to do after black/white? First it was faux wood paneling/brown, then gray, black, now white. Nintendo's probably gonna invent new colors. Leave it to Sony to rip them off.

I might actually have a chance to get a Wii on Wednesday. Wal-Mart is selling them at 8am, so maybe everyone will be at school and work.

I just bought the bright green controller condom from Walmart for just under 10 bucks, with tax.
The good: +Fits on tightly - looks as good as it'll get until they release actual colored controllers. +Green wrist strap has the Wii logo down the entire strap. +Relatively cheap if you go to Walmart.
The bad: +Some of the buttons, such as the power button and the minus/plus buttons, are much harder to press. +There is no little clamp for the wrist strap. +Changing batteries will be annoying with the tight glove over the entire controller.
All in all, these are pretty cool to have for the time being. I only bought one to distinguish which controller was my main one - the one that was synced already. I wouldn't spend over 10 on them unless they came with a bunch of extra stuff.

I got this Legend of Zelda accessory pack from Toys R Us that includes a new console stand with two front face clips, one is green with the yellow Triforce on it and the other is grey with the black standard Hylian Shield Triforce logo on it. It comes with a green CD Wallet that has the triforce on it and the zipper pull is a Wii-mote. It also came with two controller gloves, one is green with a dark face with the Triforce on it, and the other is grey with the Hylian Shield Triforce logo on it. I love the green one.

They look cool, but once you actually get one on the controller, you'll realize that you'll probably have to cut it off to get to the dead batteries. I couldn't get mine all the way on because I was so afraid it was going to loosen the buttons. Not worth the $10 at all.
