So Gamepro.com is the first to recieve their retail version Wiis (as far as i know). Check the size comparison, the PS3 is like the size of my bed.


Check the entire story and all pics here.

I think it's bogus that they sell the controller and ninchuk seperately tho. They should come together since I'm wondering how many games WON'T use both pieces in the games.

Would you rather buy both if only one of them breaks? That's the reason.

That and there are going to be other things to plug into the controller.

"Classic Port
Gamecube Port
Steering wheel port
Light Gun port

Just a few i'm sure of the many ideas they will be trying, good for us, bad for our wallets. Though as long as they come out slowly enough it will be fine.

Dude, who actually breaks their controllers? The last controller that broke on me was my Genesis stick and that was internal so I had it replaced.

I do kinda hope that third parties will create their own Wiimotes and 'chucks tho so that we can have variety and more ergonomic options.

Well it's not a matter of breaking them, it just happens. Eventually at some point a controller will break down, or given the nature of using it, may break.

I've seen it all too many times where if you really get into something and once that pressure builds up, you're seeing a piece of your joystick on the floor. I'm not saying it will happen with the Wii, but better safe than sorry.

A friend of mine got frustrated at losing an XBL match and threw his controller to the ground. I never thought of him as the type to get pissy like that, but it happened. Then the other day he kept randomly (and accidently) dropping his controllers. Stuff happens, sometimes it causes you to need to replace items.

I once talked to a guy I used to work with who told me he went through a PS2 controller about every 6 months.
