Our New Wii July 21, 2008
Posted by Martin in : Leisure , trackback
We had an expensive weekend. Instead of traveling during the Friday – Sunday holiday, we decided to go shopping.
I’m not a fan of watching TV but Tik’s been compaining that she doesn’t get a chance to follow Thai news anymore. She’s been keen to get a TV for a while and I wanted a Nintendo Wii for myself which needs the TV to play on.
After doing some comparison shopping and online research last Friday we settled on what we wanted and got ourselves a 40" Sony Bravia TV with DVD player and home theater sound (a little bit of overkill in our 100m2 apartment) and a US Wii with 10 games to get us started.
We haven’t got UBC TV installed, and we aren’t really sure if we want it. Tik can now watch the free Thai TV stations – although reception isn’t great.
We’re both really enjoying the Nintendo Wii though. It’s tiring and although my favorite games is probably Mario Kart, Tik’s spent most of her time with Wii Sports Golf and ‘Brain Train’. We had a friend over yesterday who really enjoyed playing it.
The Nintendo Wii’s quite a niche product in Thailand as the only versions available are imported Japanese or US versions. They also require you to have a large area to move around in if you’re going to make the most of it. We’re hosting another party next month and are looking forward to having our friends play a tournament with it.
