Hi Donna, I'm a nOOb here too. Maybe we're the only one's that play video games here?? i'm just a big kid at heart. The article is right though, knowin (a little) about video games, does increase my coolness in their eyes.

My DH got our oldest a PS2 several years ago. Every once in a while I'll pick up a controller and play something. I love Guitar Hero, we had that for a while, I like tiger woods golf also. I'm not into buying new games for it, they cost way too much.

I do really want to get a Wii. I keep reading about it but I haven't tried one yet, don't know anyone that owns one, but it looks like great fun. Is it easier to use than the xbox?? What do you think of the controls?
