Feeling the need to purchase a Nintendo Wii this weekend. Any suggestions for good deals and accessories?

Well, the Wii will be pretty much the same price everywhere, so it is pointless to try and find a cheap one. As far as accessories, you'll probably want more controllers. Wii Play is a great purchase because it comes with a Wii Remote.

You also might want to buy Tiger Woods '10, which is currently the only way to get the Wii Motion Plus accessory. Currently, there are few games that take advantage of this, but there will undoubtedly be more in the future, especially after Nintendo formally releases it. If you plan on playing racing games, also consider buying a Wii Wheel, which makes it much more realistic.

Also, if you want to connect your Wii to a wired internet connection, make sure you buy the LAN adapter. If you are connecting it to a wireless network, any router should work fine. If you are connecting it to the internet, then you also might want a Wii points card, which will allow you to download games form the Wii Shop Channel.

(You can also use your credit card if your aren't sensitive about using it online.) If you buy downloadable games, you will also need a Game Cube or Classic Controller to play some of the newer ones, and if you download a lot of games, an SD card will be necessary. If you do not want to download games, you probably won't need an SD card. You may also want a USB keyboard if you plan on typing long messages on the Wii.

I recommend staying away from accessories that are not licensed by Nintendo. They probably won't damage your console, but they might void your warranty. I also recommend not buying controller grips or covers, because the controllers, including the ones that come with the Wii and Wii Play, come with grips.
