(Fail) No Wii For The Kids: Hidden Costs Compel Console Return

[loves2splooge]

Console ownership ain't cheap. Nothing new. I've been thinking about getting a Wii but putting it off. There are a lot of hidden expenses to that thing. Rechargeable battery pack (I lost mine. lol), Classic Controller and/or Gamecube Controller (I want to play Brawl and what not), Wii Motion Plus (because I'd like to try Tiger Woods, Red Steel 2, etc), extra Wiimote + Nunchuk if you don't want to just play solo. Arcade Stick for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom possibly (if not, classic controller at the bare minimum). Shit adds up. When/If I get a Wii, I figure I might get away with the Rechargeable batteries at first if I put off playing Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Brawl, Red Steel 2, etc.

I can see how this would overwhelm new gamers.
