mario party 8 is a bit watered down, the items aren't as crazy there are fewer ones and its a bit plain.
Don't get me wrong its fun 4 player board game, but I think if you tried unlocking everything you get bored easily.

mario party 8 is definitely for a younger crowd but can be enjoyable with the right people.
I recently purchased resident evil 4 and am liking it. the controls are kick ass using the wiimote and nunchuk together blending perfectly. I can't stop playing..

Finally hooked our Wii up last night.
Man is it fun. We only have Wii Sports and Zelda right now, but I can't wait to get some more games.
While playing Zelda, I can't even use the damn fishing rod. I can't get the fish to bite.
Have you guys created a Mii yet?
I created a thread so we can start adding each other as friends if we want:

Nintendo packing Wii Wheel with Mario Kart for Wii

Let's not bandy about here, we're pretty much God's gift to green shell snipes, and hook us up with a few red shells and perhaps a banana or two and you can pretty much kiss your Flower Cup goodbye. Nintendo just announced some extensive online functionality for its upcoming Wii-based Mario Kart title, including an undisclosed amount of "more" online competitors, which is always a plus. Nintendo is also packing a free Wii Wheel with each copy of the game to help ease the newbs into the Kart action. No word on how much the new wheel will cost on its own, but we'll be seeing both it and Mario Kart in the first quarter of 2008. More pics after the break.

XCM Black Night Case
Per your request Sly...here are pics of my Black Night Case kit prior to install. The kit is pretty awesome, comes w/ everything you need, including the tri-wing screw driver. I will post pics of the finished product later this afternoon.

Nice, thanks for the pics.
What's the quality of the plastic?
The only thing I'm worried about with this is voiding the warranty on the box. I've never had an issue with any of the consoles I've owned, but you never know.

The quaility is OEM grade.
I feel the same way in regards to the warranty...but I do not notice any seals that I will break during install. If something happens, I will just put the original case back on and send it off for repair. Who nows, Nintendo builds some pretty reliable product!

A day late, but as promised...attached are pictures of the finished case modification. I must say, this was a very time consuming and not as easy as described. I do like the finished result though! 
***No factory seals or stickers are broken when completing this install.
