For my birthday she got me a Wii.
She got up at 6 in the morning to be first in line to get one when the shippment came in. This system is fucking awesome!
She also picked me up Call of Duty 3 and the gun to go with it!
WoooT!:D

It's nice to have a wife who buys you expensive electronic stuff.

Yeah, well this isn't the norm for us. We have a $50 limit on gifts for each other. I guess I had been talking about the Wii so much she figured that if she got me one I'd shut up.:D
My wife lucked into one for Xmas for the kids...it was November and she had been getting the "we have none" at a bunch of stores when she started checking around.
Then, she happens to be in Walmart (I think it was) for something else, and asks one of the folks - lo and behold, the truck had just arrived like 10 minutes before. This kid said he had already turned away 20 people earlier in the day as the truck was late...
I told my wife she should have bought three...
The game is great - though I haven't tried anything beyond the basics due to both money (lacking) and kids (lacking maturity). Bu they play it almost every day for at least a bit...they love tennis but don't bowl since my 300 game...
Congrats - and enjoy!
Congrats Mcrow...the great thing is, you'll both dig it and end up playing Wii Sports more than anything else! :D ...or that's how it happened for us.
Nintendo brought the "Let's Play Together" vibe big-time as their answer to "nextgen".
I wish a pen and paper gaming company could figure out the formula and get it down on paper. :D

Yeah, not only did they get the "play together" vibe down but they didn't exclude any demographic, young , old or any color this system is a ton of fun.
I had something similar happen to me as James described - except it was 6 PM Dec. 22 and I saw 3 in electronics.
The kids were thrilled.
I was mean, though. I told them we were broke, so we just got something small, and all 3 got a jar of bubbles. Then I brought out the cardboard box with the Wii in it :D and then the rest of the presents.

Good way to go from lame mom to coolest mom in the world in 3 second flat. :haw:
I tried really, REALLY hard :p
Mario Kart rocks! You should get it, MCrow. I got it for me, but my wife loves the game, and we play it all the time...together! She's not one to like video games, so it was a pleasant surprise for her to like the Wii games, we just pre-ordered Wii Fit, too.

Yeah, Mario Kart & Wii Fit are both on my list.
I just picked up The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess yesterday and that game kicks ass.
