Why not right now? :) The more time between purchase and new system, the better you'll feel.

You're speaking Greek to me :) And I've been scarred by 3rd Party Nintendo controllers from years ago, so I only buy 1st-Party controllers. I installed an ethernet outlet in the living room to connect the Tivo and Xbox. But if I that hadn't been an easy option, that cost might have swayed me to...

I don't play online. It's semantics, but I wouldn't consider that an "upkeep" fee; that makes it sound you need a service contract to keep it working. It runs just fine without XBox Live :) How so? In a practical way that you notice while playing games? Or from a engineering design philosophy...

Thanks for the info. I'm trying to give a coworker some tips on buying a Wii this year. I won't tell him to wait for integrated MotionPlus :)

Any expectation that the new motion plus hardware gets integrated into the current Wii controllers? Or maybe it's add-on until Wii2.
