Wii have it!

So this Christmas / Anniversary i somehow managed my wife to let me buy us a Wii. I don't know how I did it. Well ok, i kind of do. Here's my secrets.

1. Torture her for months about it, but never make it the focus.

For instance, bring up how you played it at a friends house, and then when she says something like "Oh, i think it would be fun to have a Wii! It seems like a great game system, way better than your XBOX360 because it's family oriented!" do something like

IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THE SUBJECT

2. Bring up the Wii Fit in a sneaky guy way, like showing your wife the quasi-porn-like videos on Spike TV of playboy bunnies working out on it. (Yes, these videos do exist) then when she says something like "Oh that looks like fun actually" or "OMG YOGA DROOL" say something like "yeah, it does but they're really hard to get." and then let the subject fade away. She THINKS you're watching lame guy videos but your actually sub consciously injecting her brain with what i like to call "Wii-Waves"

If she says something like "HONEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING WATCHING THESE KINDS OF VIDEOS AND WHERE IS MY DIVORCE-STICK" then, well, you're fighting a loosing battle.

3. Mention how you actually save money by buying a Wii. Firstly, it's half the price of a PS3. Secondly it plays gamecube games AND you can download N64, SNES, and NES games on it. So essentially you're saving around 1000 dollars by buying it.

4. Throughout the months moan about how they're always sold out, and they're really hard to find and you should probably pre-order one from somewhere but you don't really have the money.

5. Wait for your wive's women friends to do the rest of the work for you. All you need is a couple people around who have the system, and they will be inadvertantly sending Wii-Waves like carpet bombs in your wife's direction.

6. When you take your wife to the store one day and there's a Wii on the shelf. Jump on it. This is a once in a lifetime oppourtunity dear, we may never see another one again, and for God's sake don't forget about the Wii Fit i'm going to buy you!

7. If all else fails at the clinching moment, buy a copy of Animal Crossing and explain to her how she can decorate her own house and plant flowers and she'll be sold.


In the mean time, I'm going to go play Wii now, and check the prices of Turnips on Animal Crossing and dodge punches from Bex once she reads this.
