(Video games count, right? I mean you play them on a TV...mostly)The Nintendo Wii finally has a release date! November 19, $249 - more than the $199 originally hoped/speculated but much less than the PS3, which should be out...somewhere around that time. It also comes with "Wii Sports" as a pack-in, which is probably nothing more than a few quick games to show off the motion-sensitive Wii remote (which totally should be called the "Wiimote").
It's not all rainbows and butterflies. The roster of launch titles - with no Mario or Metroid until 2007 - is thinner than [INSERT KATE MOSS JOKE HERE] and there's no DVD playback after all, which is a bizarre move given how the lack of multimedia functions hurt the Game Cube against the PS2 and Xbox (and PS3 having Blu-Ray capability and all).
