Talking to my mom yesterday during Thanksgiving, she suggested that I make another wishlist for Christine and I, like I did one other year. It’s nice to know that it’s still a good idea. When you don’t actively live with family members and/or don’t talk to them every day, it helps them to know what you have your eyes on instead of going on the tried-and-true gift card road.

However, looking at Amazon today (their wishlist implementation is unmatched!), I decided to leave one thing out: a Nintendo Wii system. Even though it’s technically the lowest-priced system out of the Big Three of Gaming Consoles (at $249), it’s in such high demand that Amazon is quoting prices starting from $549 on up! I can’t realistically ask anyone to spend that much on me!

A big part of the reason for the high price nowadays:

FOXNews.com - One Year Later, Wii Still Hard to Find in Stock

I knew I should just have gotten it six months ago! Before anyone else asks, no I don’t want the Playstation 3 nor Microsoft’s X-Box 360. There’s some good reasons why I’m a Nintendo fan!

So, I’m going to lower my sights a bit and use my Amazon list for the little things we’d like. Click here for the list, but it may not be completed just yet.

Cheers!

(However, if anyone would like to get the Wii system for me, I’d also like the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess game for the Wii… wink, wink, nudge, nudge… kthanxbai!!))
