    Sorry I was so crass before, but the Wii has been out forever, and how you didn't know these things were included is beyond me... But I included a link that shows a Wii Box with a rather prominent marker to indicate Wii Sports being included. This matches my Wii Box (along with all the rest sold in the US).

    Remember the original Nintendo's game mat, the PowerPad? You could use it with an Olimpics themed game and compete in track and field events. I recall kneeling on the floor and smacking the pressure spots with my hands to achieve unrealistic scores.

    I think maybe something like this may make a venture into the trendy excercise market. If they can sell a big ball for a hundred bucks, they can sell a Wii controller too.

    This begs the now cliche question: Why not just go outside and play the actual sport? Alas, there is not a chance in hell.

    Lack of space?

    A cheap shelving unit would solve that problem. I got a nice metal shelving unit (similar to this but with only three shelves) a while back that looks good and holds quite a bit of stuff. Plus, it's completely open so I don't have to worry about heating issues like with a fully enclosed "media center" rack (I never understood why you'd put hot, sensitive electronics in a fully enclosed rack).

    Finite number of inputs into my TV?

    Get a mux. My current personal favorite is the AA1154 component switch. If you don't need component, you can get switches for composite/s-video or even DVI (and thus HDMI, since the two convert back and forth easily). Granted, the Audio Authority switches are expensive, but there are many PRODUCTS&cm_ite=1%20PRODUCT&cm_keycode=4">other options out there depending on the feature you want and the price you're willing to pay.

  4. Hack USB... or spend 9 bucks. by Kredal · · Score: 1 · on Hacking The DS's Wireless
    Instead of hacking together a USB charger, you *could* always go to your favorite large consumer electronics store and pick up a Pelican GBA SP USB charger for $9.00. It's exactly the same as the DS, and it even comes with a spiffy 12V-USB adapter thingy for use in the car.

    Yes, I have verified that it works, and I didn't have to kill a perfectly good spare power cord or USB cord, and hope that I matched the colors right.

    Link for $13.00

    Uh, I got one at Gamestop made by Pelican. Also lets me plug it into a cigarette lighter in the car.

    Why do I need to get one from Hong Kong again?
