B&W

Black and white Wii units. The black one being the current version and the white my 1st Gen.

The newer gen Wii has all the backward compatibilty hardware for the Nintendo Gamecube. This may not be much for the common folk gamer, but Nintendo fanboys look on this with disdain.

I bought this unit for my family and it is still amazing how this console manages to pull in everybody and join the fun.

It doesn't have full HD, audio is just regular composite audio, and doesn't even have large mass storage. Games are simple, nothing visually astonishing.

But that simplicity is what draws what would be non-gamers to pick up the controller to join the fray. Lots of gaming titles that the average folk can relate and easily interact with. That's the Nintendo approach for you.

Of course audio and video setbacks of the Wii will soon be addressed - once the all new Wii U comes out ;-)

Qdoba time?

Qdoba's pulled-pork quesadillas definitely beat Taco Time's. Price-wise, the latter has got the edge though, but Qdoba's version makes up in heft for the price difference.

And you get a scoop of guacamole and/or sour cream to go with it too.
