The temptation is growing strong now. Tomorrow I will know what kind of annual bonus I'm getting. Assuming it's not a joke, I might very well have to pick up a Bronze and finally get back to my Metroid/Zelda/Mario roots.

Why would you want your game console to do all that stuff anyway? I want my game console to play games. I can't think of one reason to have a web browser on it (though it does have one).

I have a Wii -- and only a Wii. I'm not sure where this multiple console ownership thing came from. That seems to be purely a current-gen concept. The biggest problem with it is the lack of games. There aren't too many in the first place, and the ones that are out are 90% party game crap that all basically looks and functions the same.

Yea, but some games are console specific like Final Fantasy (I got most of them for my PS systems) I can't play Halo until I get a PC version or 360 (which I use to have until it died)

I loved Mario Galaxy. I wouldn't care if nothing new was added to SMG2 as long as it was a whole new set of levels.

Except this means I need to get my ass back in gear and finally finish that damn Luigi's Purple Coins star....

...And then worry about playing again as Luigi...

Before I got a laptop, I used my Wii to surf the web from the recliner in my bedroom. It wasn't perfect, but it worked well enough. If the browser had a real version of Flash, I would have loved to use it to watch Hulu and other online video.
