[Wii] Official Nintendo Wii thread

I had my uncle's Wii for a while, and I want to get one for myself, but... I've got questions.

First of all, do you guys know if they'll be releasing different colors? I can't stand having a white one, and I'm also wondering if they'll ever have built-in batteries on the Wiimotes. Is it a possibility? What do you guys think?

Second, when does the first price drop for a system usually occur? Will it happen with the Wii? I know it's already pretty cheap but I'm willing to wait.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I actually prefer it to having to have some stand to stick the controller into or some cord. .

BLACK!?! That's it?! I want COLORS, not non-colors!!! Black and white are the ABSENCE of color, goddammit.

Well, I guess I have plenty of time to make my choice. I mean, I kinda want a 360 too. And I prefer plugging my DS into an outlet to actually popping in new batteries every few hours. That just isn't for me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
