Now I really want a Wii

Since last year, I’ve been talking about how I would like to get a Wii. Usually, I end up saying that I’ll consider it when the price drops. With the continuing lack of availability of the console, and demand outstripping supply, I find it hard to believe that there will be any sort of price drop in the near future. Definitely not before this holiday season. At the same time, I have seen what will probably push me over the edge to Wii fandom: Guitar Hero III.

I saw this beauty on Wii Blog, and I couldn’t contain my excitement. But since the game is going to cost around $100, I think I’d better buy the console sooner rather than later. I’ve just finished paying for my new hardwood flooring, and my pay should be going up thanks to reaching my CPP and EI premium ceilings for the year, plus I should be getting a small bonus next month. All of that should allow a little bit of room in the budget for a new console. Now what would William and Nathan think of that?
