The Wii does not have an HDMI input. I have an HD cable for my Wii, but I'm forced to use the component cables rather than a straight HDMI connection. I'm guessing it's the same with a PS3 (I won't be buying one for a month or two). The component cables that you are plugging into your TV or audio receiver would be the same, but the connection to your PS3 or Wii will vary by each system (as it will be different for an Xbox 360).

NHL 11. I didn't buy NHL 10 because I have NHL 09 and I loved it so much that I figured it wouldn't be worth it to buy the next version. NHL 11 really isn't much different than 09, but the fighting is much improved (I don't fight in the game, so it doesn't affect me), the stick dynamics (breaking, dropping, affecting the puck when laying on the ice) is pretty cool, face offs are much better, and I really like the option of being drafted in Be A Pro mode.

I played in the CHL for a tournement. Our team won and I was selected I think 26th overall by the Minnesota Wild. Did very well in pre-season so I managed to start the season with them. We've been absolutely dominant. 24-2-0 is our record thus far. Koivu and Brunette have been tearing it up while Backstrom has been an absolute brick wall and I'm leading the team in assists (I'm a defensive defenseman). I accidentally kept the default number 11 as my set number, but 1 really cool feature is that you don't necessarily get your prefered number. I'm wearing 13 because John Madden (lol) is 11. I can't remember what my number was in 09, but for some reason I seem to remember always getting preference on what number I wanted. I could be wrong though.

I will get NHL 11 when I get my extension cords and hd hookups all figured out....That is my first purchase.

I'm playing through the single campaign right now. It might be one of the best designed shooters I've ever played. Bungie really raised the bar with Reach. Hopefully the game is strong throughout.

Nothing beats Goldeneye for N64.

Ugh....i'm deep in a starcraft II addiction, Halo: Reach just came out (i bought the reach bundle with a new slim...of course it's the only xbox slim to NOT come with a data transfer cable...bastards), and Civilization V comes out today.

All three are absurd time wasters and i'm crazy busy right now. Boo.

I'm awful at Halo games. I'm struggling with the Halo Reach campaign on Legendary right now. If anyone wants to help me, that would be fantastic.
