Not that anyone gives a shit but the 1st empty shell for a Wii game came in today. Its lame ass Avatar but it nice to be able to check out the packaging. I was not aware before that the cases were going to be white. Neat I guess..

Nice. What kind of cases are they, just standard DVD ones or more like Blu-Ray/HD-DVD dimensions?

Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam is supposed to be a helluva lot of fun multi.

People still care about the wii?

yes.

I'm still hopeful for something like Achievements on Wii as well, but I'm not counting on it. Here's hoping Nintendo surpirses me with them.

yah i'm hoping for achievements too, but im not holding my breath though...atleast give us a online score ranking, that can't be too hard, can it?

Yeah, this is basically why Sony more or less x-copied the XBLA format for PS3. I doubt Nintendo is going to introduce achievements, but that would certainly make me more enthusiastic about playing some of the classic NES/Genny/TG-16 games.

what amazes me is that the PS3 is 4-5 weeks from release and Sony hasn't shown any pics of thier online network/interface.

I actually like the look of it a lot. Now it's just a matter of them getting the functionality down. Microsoft and Nintendo have seemed to be able to, hopefully Sony will also.
