The Wii is Definately worth it's money. I live in the UK so I got mine for about £180. The Online use from the Wii is Amazing. There is an Internet Channel so you can use an Opera Web browser, this allows you (for example) to go on youtube through you tv which is pretty neat. Then there is a News Channel which gives you the News round the clock as it happens. There is a weather channel that will give you world wide weather at any moment.
Then there is one of the best features: The Virtual console
The Virtual console is basically an online Catalogue of all Nintendo's past games (except the Game cube) which you can down load and play direct from your Wii. These consoles include:
Nes, Snes, N64, Sega Genisis, And the Turbo Graphics system.
To download these games onto your Wii you need Wii Points which you can purchase through Credit card online or buy a Wii point card from your Local Retailer. The Virtual console catologue is expanding all the time.
There is also a photo Channel in which you can view/play Movies Music and images. You can get these on your Wii Via an SD card. (There is a SD card port on the front of the Wii hidden Neatly behind a pannel)
And Finally there is the Mii Channel. Here you design a Mii (your personal Avatar) Which keeps a record of evrything you do on your Wii. From your Internet Channel Records to your gameplay Records. Also the Mii can also appear in some games:
e.g. If you have Wii Sports and you choose to play Tennis, you Mii will be the Charecter Playing Tennis.
There is also 2 usb ports on the back of the wii. The can also play Game cube games (this requires a gamecube controller).
The Online play (like Xbox Live) for Wii Launches sometime later this year and it is FREE, but in the meantime you can already message a friend who has Wii or even send a computer an Email. There is also plenty more to come for the Wii and the only way to know how cool it is, is to try one out for yourself. Oh yeah... the Games for it kick *** too! lol
My Opinion: 10/10 on the coolness scale
