In due time, perhaps. It is an amazing system, though. I'm having so much fun with it 
(heh, my parents even logged 30+ minutes of gameplay in when I wasn't home )

well, that is a good sign, they know how fun it can be (or is it bad, you might have less time to play with them on it).

So what do you think of the console so far? Care to post a review?
I particularly would like to know how good Red Steel is.
It's not looking good
although I got budokai with mine, and gamerankings is worshipping twilight princess like it's an idol.

I think it better than the reviewers are giving it credit for. Just an OK story/voice work, but cool worlds (destructable and stuff), and crazy fun controls
(nothing like going in with your gun gansta-style 
)
I still have yet to play Zelda - Wii Sports is just so much fun
hopefully. I wonder if Best Buy or Circuit City would have them available online.

I thought that too on PS3 launch date; they will not have it online, and they won't for quite some time due to supply shortages (you *might* be able to find a Wii from an online retailer sometime in December)
Well, my parents have just told me that they're not going to drive my little brother and I to buy a Wii (imagine my surprise; especially since I told them about this a day in advance and they had previously agreed 
</sarcasm>)
Time to find another way to get a Wii...

note to self, get money, buy Wii.
Question, will the Gamecube Wavebird controllers work with the Wii at all?

Well, somehow my little brother convinced my Dad to take us to EBGames at 3a.m. I was the FIRST IN LINE!!! It was soooooooo worth it...the Wii is awesome! I bought Zelda and Red Steel; played Wii Sports, and I'm waiting for my little brother to give me a turn with Red Steel (and wtf is with the $60 Wii remote/nunchuk combo?!)

Kinda. Here's how it breaks down. To play Wii games, you MUST use the Wii Controller, and to play GameCube games, you MUST use a gamecube controller (there are 4 gamecube controller ports and 2 memory card slots on the side/top of the Wii, depending on the orientation of the console) - the two are mutually exclusive
So if the Wavebird controller you speak of plugs into the regular gamecube controller port, then you can use it for gamecube games, but not Wii ones
@Ult Dev'r - Them controllers are pretty advanced hardware, remember
(i've heard something like 6 gyroscopes in them for motion sensing) Also, not all games need the nunchuck (wii sports, exite truck, etc..) But yeah, it is a totally sweet system I still need to get a second Wii controller, and I'm hoping to get a nunchuck + 2 classic controllers + 2 gamecube controllers for x-mas
The reason I ask is that the wavebird recievers were large, and shaped to the Gamecube. I have three of these controllers, and only one wired, so I don't need to have to buy new controllers (or have to keep the cube).

the 4 gamecube ports on the wii appear to be spaced the exact same as on the gamecube, and height doesn't matter as all you have to do is stand the Wii on its side and then the ports are on the top and can have all the space they need
So would you say I should get the Wii?
And for a decent setup how much would I probably spend?
something like this?
wii with wii sports -- 250
zelda ------------------50
call of duty/red steel-50
so about 350
do I need to buy the numchuck(sp? =P) separately?
EDIT: After a little searching I finally found it on wikipedia
