saving for Wii


EricBall

400 views

Monday my wife declared my son's piggybank to be finally full and started sorting and rolling. In all, it was over 40lbs and C$800 (those $1 & $2 coins add up quick) which will be added to his university account. But there was also over C$200 in paper money, which he has earmarked for buying a Wii. Unfortunately, the cost of the system plus one game (and tax) will cost C$400. So I guess he still has some saving to do. (Which he will probably accomplish in a year or so as he rarely spends his allowance.)

The price will likely come down by then, too.

 

My niece saved up enough for a DS recently. I was pretty proud of her for doing that. Besides, it now makes shopping for her birthday a lot easier. (e.g. "What game do you want?") :ponder:

You know...I was all set to be impressed by the Wii - and I am impressed by the technology - but I've played it a couple times at various friends' houses and I've been pretty unimpressed.

 

Of course, I've only ever played the pack-in games, so maybe some of the others are better.
