    Philistine. I bet you aren't even using $100 Monster-brand premium gold-plated HDMI connectors for optimal signal quality and maximum color-accuracy and sharpness!

    I hear that square-wave signals look WAY better when they travel through way-overpriced copper rather than inexpensive copper. You can totally tell the difference!

    If you have to get up and fumble with discs every time you want to switch tasks, this is a big Fail for the Wii in terms of convenience.

    Think of it as "Wii Fit Lite"
