Yeah I want a Wii again. Man that was a good marathon.

Damn you, MikeMoose!

However, I figure that if I get both systems simultaneously, I will enjoy and respect them at the same level of quality. Hehe, smart huh?

To do this I'm going to need approximately $1,000 after all of the extra crap like controllers, Xbox Live Gold Membership, and the games especially. Super Paper Mario, Brawl, Assassin's Creed, and... probably Halo 3 (don't worry, all of these games will be out by the time I get both systems, so it all works out) will be the games I'll get to start off. Of course, the premium system comes with Ethernet and a headset, so that saves me some money there. Supposedly it comes with a copy of GRAW as well, but that will probably change by the time I get the console. Yeah, the speculation is huge for me right now. >_>

Then of course Wii Sports will come with the Wii, which should be pretty cool. I might buy two extra controllers, one possibly being a cla$$ic, just because of the Wii's profound multiplayer atmosphere. I keep hearing that there's enough memory in the Wii itself to save files, so I'm not worried about a memory card. I would like some Wii points, however, to delve back into the sweet nostalgia of yesteryear's achievements. Anybody know if getting an online status costs money? I've heard that it's free, but that seems sort of hard to believe.

So yeah, looking at it all it's going to be a $1,000 bundle--maybe a little more. Now, if you're thinking, "Dude, you should be thinking about getting a job for more important things, like a car and college"... Well, let's just say:

1. I'm not stupid.
2. I'm totally not going to blow away all of the money I earn for games (though a fairly huge chunk--35-40% of the earnings I get after this $1000 bundle--might go to games and whatnot).
3. I still have at least 4-5 years in the house still. I got plenty of time.

On a side note, it looks really nice out. I use the linking verb "looks" because the looks are deceiving. It appears to be a normal Spring/Summer day with the sun shining and not a cloud in the sky with an uncharacteristically short breeze every so often. Weird thing is, it's 33 degrees. One degree above freezing. No clouds. Hardly any wind. Nothing but sun and rainbows at the end of the road. And yet it's 33 degrees. This is kind of pissing me off because my break ends on Monday and it's supposed to be like this all week: looks nice out but it isn't. What a shame.
