So Ken and I were chatting about getting a Wii (it sure would have come in handy while I was housebound and snowed in during 10 days over school holidays!). I am hesitant because I don't want to be playing video games all day. I am not too worried about the kids - as long as they get to play a bit every day they will be happy. Ken tells me that Wii fit will help me get into shape, and there is stuff on there that we both could do to improve our health...
As we were discussing the pros and cons (Ken is very pro, I am not quite there yet), Ken innocently says to me
"Anna, because the TV is so old, we'll need to get a new one so the Wii will work".
Hmm...anything for a new huge flat screen that we don't need (at least until the current old box craps out). And then he says
"If we spend all that money on a new TV, we'll have to get a stereo system as well".
Uh huh.
"And if we have HDTV, then we really should subscribe to HDTV through the cable company so we get full value".
"Oh, and what do you think about Blu Ray"?
So this new Wii, along with a Wii fit is really going to cost us almost $2000. Don't think we'll be getting a new Wii anytime soon.

Umm. We have a Wii and we used it with our old TV (it was at least 12 years old). So, really, with a Wii, you don't need Hi-Def. However, if you were talking about getting an X-BOX 360 or a PS3, you'd definitely need to look into the television upgraded. :-)
LMAO! Our Wii is on a TV that is at least 12 years old and works fine.
Nice try Ken.
