One of Zach's good friends from the neighborhood recently got a Nintendo Wii. In response, Zach has launched into a full-fledged campaign to get one of his own. His longing for the shiny new toy is palpable. (Understandably so -- I haven't played with one yet, but they look really, really cool.)Now, it has been our unofficial family policy to not buy the newest and latest videogame systems as they come out, but rather to stay about 2-3 years behind the cutting edge, waiting for prices to drop significantly before upgrading to a new videogame system.
But this time, it might just be unavoidable. The holidays (and Zach's birthday) are coming up, the extended family is looking for gift suggestions for the kids, and Linda likes the idea of video games that involve the kids being up and moving around rather then just sitting still.
I won't put up much of a fight, either. Video games are a guilty pleasure of mine, and have I mentioned that the Wii looks really, really cool?
Anyone in the market for a well-used GameCube?
