    the remote is the main controller and the nun-chuck is the add-on (not all games use the nun-chucks).

    well two and a half actually...

    there is the remote one with the add on nunchuck and there is a classic style that looks like a cross between a Super Nintendo Controller and a PS2 controller. Same shape as a SNES controller, but has the twin sticks on it.

    that's right....

    ....as for Kickback's haul....thats a lot of good stuff (and yet, it's still $200 cheaper than the PS3 system itself)...

    ...hopefully the Wii Sports will be included with the system for a while (at least for the first year).

    When I camped out at Best Buy, they had the sprinklers set, and at about 12:45, when it was like, 32 degrees out, they come on and sprayed everyone behind us. Me and my buddies waiting were laughing our asses off. Then we felt sad.

    So all that cost $600 or did he mean the Wii card has $600 worth of credit on it?

    My brother went to Best Buy around 4am and managed to buy one of the remaining Wii. I will try that Wii sports with him and see how fun it is.

    the "gun controller" is just a casing/housing for the wiimote and nunchuk.

    It all cost that.

    You don't put credit on a Wii card. The card is $20, and comes with 2000 points.

    Ahhh. Even better.
    Now see, $600 for that is worth it so much more than the PS3 IMO.

    See, that's just awesome. I thought you needed to get another controller entirely. By that just being a slot for the regular controller probably makes it a lot cheaper than an entirely separate controller.

    That's because $600 only buys you the PS3. No extra controller. No HDMI cable. No game. Hell, it won't even cover your sales tax.

    I put in my 8 hours of camping out last night/this morning as well. Since I also work at the walmart I bought it from I even got to go in before the store opened and bought the first Wii and Zelda they had.

    2 consoles down just one more to go now
