System: Wii

Owned for: 13 months (since December 6, 2006)

•Wario Ware: Smooth Moves [1st party]

•Wii Play [1st party] (Wiimote packed-in)

•Trauma Center: Second Opinion [3rd party] (was it $40? can't remember either)

•Metroid Prime 3: Corruption [1st party franchise/2nd party developer]

•Rampage: Total Destruction [3rd party] (how can you pass up $20?)

•Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure [3rd party]

•Super Mario Galaxy [1st party] (gift)
