I've seen those articles about the Wii too! I saw something recently where there was a site/blog where people posted pictures of broken lamps and various household items that were broken while they were playing the Wii. Too funny. I can totally see it becoming a part of someone's workout routine. It's so clever on that end. Not to mention bridging the gap between parents and kids where the whole video game culture is concerned. It really sets the bar for where things are headed.

I hear you on the "stack of games that never get played." In fact, I'm packing up about a dozen of them to trade in with Gamefly. That's a new thing they started doing. As long as you've got all the packaging and manuals and the games are in good shape you can trade them in for credit with Gamefly. I just need to get them to the post office. Speaking of... to answer your question, you can keep whatever you rent from Gamefly as long as you want. It's the same as Netflix. When you're done with it you send it back and they'll ship out whatever is next on your queue. We have the two games a month plan but there are a variety to choose from.

I don't know if I have a favorite game for the Wii yet but we've been having a lot of fun with Mario Party 8 and I think the kids have put the Final Fantasy game you mention on the queue. I sort of let them be my ambassadors but I remember loving the racing games when I was kid so I'll put your suggestions on there too!

So glad I could answer your questions and help out! I wish there were more of us "grown-ups" out here talking about this stuff. Is it just that we're terminally hip?
