I asked my son to write up his Christmas list this year. Usually I have a pretty good idea of what he wants, and by this time I already have all of my shopping done. I do most of my shopping online so it’s not too much hassle. Anyway, at the top of his Christmas list this year is, of course, a Nintendo Wii. It’s probably the most popular gaming console out there right now because it’s very family oriented. I have been kind of wanting to get a Wii for quite some time, especially since Nintendo put out the wii fit. I think it’s an awesome way to have fun and stay in shape, or get in shape if you are me. My son could stand to use it as well, and I think that he’d actually love it. What I like most about the Wii, from what I can see, are games like Mario Kart. That was my favorite game on the old Nintendo system I had. My only deal is basically my son is only 8 and I am just not certain that I want to spend that much money on a gift for him until he is a bit more responsible. Every couple of days I do a price comparison to see if perhaps it’s gone down in price, or what package deals are being offered. Sometimes the Wii console will come with a couple of games for a discount price.

Anyway, I have a pink Nintendo DS that my boyfriend bought me not too long ago and my son has been playing it more and more lately. He likes it because not only can he play regular Nintendo DS games but he can also play his GBA games on it as well. When I saw him playing his old Yoshi’s Island game on my cute little pink DS today, I got the idea that perhaps instead of a Wii for Christmas, I’ll get him his own Nintendo DS. It’s actually in my price range and he’d get lots of enjoyment out of it. Plus, we can play games with each other on it. He loves playing games with me. It’s an idea, I’ll just keep checking Savebuckets for price comparisons on the DS and the Wii. There’s still a little bit of time left before I have to decide.
