Pros: It was TOTALLY worth the extra $20 for the Red Wii. It comes with a free copy of New Super Mario Bros. and the nice sleek red design looks amazing. I'm the most popular kid on my block now!
Cons: I'm a bit disappointing with Newegg's handling of the product itself though. The box it came in was very poorly packed so unfortunately the 'Wii' box is pretty damaged. This is not a 'con' on the product itself though.

Rating: 5/5NEW EGG IS FREAKING AWESOME!
Pros: Newegg's free shipping got my red wii (which are out of stock every where else) from Ohio to Oregon in 3 days! I was able to track it every step of the way! Also, It is an authentic American wii. I work for nintendo and was afraid I might get one from Japan because they are all region encoded but it was brand new in the box and awesome! I added it to my club nintendo and got a 3 month warranty extension. I hooked it up to netflix and the internet and can now watch movies instantly from it. I also ordered the component cables for a remarkable 4.99 which I won't get til maybe tomorrow but it is working great with the av cables.
Cons: None really, except what everyone already knows about the wii.
Other Thoughts: The wii is durable. The ups guy hung it over my back fence to the back door and the box fell and I thought forsure I would take it out to find it didn't work but it did. Also, don't use the rechargeable docks. They mess up your remotes. You don't know how often I hear about that.

Rating: 5/5MUST HAVE
Pros: Newegg shipping is SO fast! Granted I live in DC and it ships from New Jersey but I was shocked how fast the free shipping was.
Also, the Wii is a total fun machine. On my PS3 I played the call of duty games a lot, but from a gameplay perspective they all start to get the same. The Wii opened my eyes to video games and having fun again. Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Metroid games, James Bond 007 (seriously awesome), donkey kong, having a bunch of friends over for NBA Jam, its just awesome. And if you get bored there is a VERY vibrant homebrew scene with emulators and custom apps. With this machine you can litterally play all your games from NES, SNES, Genesis, Turbo Graphix, Neo Geo, N64, and Gamecube. Crazy, for $200 its a steal. Oh and the red looks super slick!
Cons: None

Rating: 5/5Best deal on the net
Pros: The lowest possible price you you will find online. Top that off with no tax or shipping costs, the price becomes unbeatable.
-Is eligible for low priced warranty coverage for only $19.99 more
-Comes with 2 free games, which alone hold a combined value of at least $85 or more.
-Includes a matching red controller and nunchuck, plus the silicone skin and strap. The controller also has the new Motion plus technology built right in (gel case is customized to fit this too).
-The red color is definitely uncommon, and will soon become a collectors item.
Cons: Absolutely none. Nintendo has a very strong reputation for quality and service, this bundle exceeds all expectations. This system will stand out above any other system you may have set up at home, due to the strikingly deep red color.
Other Thoughts: Since there are virtually ZERO of these red wii's available in stores, I definitely recommend snagging one of these before they become completely unavailable online as well.

Rating: 5/5Fun little system, wish I had bought one sooner!
Pros: The Wii is still a fun little system, for all intents and purposes. I got this one because red is my favorite color, although i would have went with a black on if they were all out of the red ones. The pack in titles are a lot of fun and give you a good idea of what the system can do. Usually, Wii games are cheaper in price ob average, and the 1st party titles are usually top notch.
Cons: Extra controllers can get pricey, considering the wand is around $40, the nunchuk is almost 20, and then there are other extras like the classic controllers and whatnot. Some of the earlier third party titles were gimmicky and relied on the motion controls way more then needed.
Other Thoughts: I bought this as a family entertainment device, instead of being something just for myself. Me, my wife, and my daughter all have a lot of fun with it, so its doing what I had intended for it to do. Entertain the whole family. Im sure a lot of other people are over the whole Wii fad, but its still got a lot to provide as long as you dont have unrealistic expectations of it.

Rating: 5/5Lovin' in Red
Pros: Fun, fantastic entertainment for the whole family at a great price. Play Wii Sports Bowling and Golf with one remote shared between 2 players. Get a fantastic workout with Boxing. Serve the ball in tennis, or hit a home run in baseball. I had the very first Nintendo system when it was released, as a parental gift. A gamer myself, I now watch my daughter beat Bowser Jr. and Bowser in Super Mario Bros.
Cons: None.
Other Thoughts: With so many available interactive games, and of course the endorsement of the American Heart Association, how can I say bad things about Wii? Maybe that you spend less money on a game you can have more players for? Less money on a gym membership? More time with family and friends?
