I try the wii u in the store and it was quite heavy the controller , so just wondering if it did affect after long session...and does the screen thing actually get used when playing or just a gimmick ...And your right there no killer game out that worth it for me to get it right now...

Heavy controller? You sure they didn't weigh it down a bit so it wouldn't get flogged? The Gamepad is quiet light for it's size and for it's components. It's actually not much heavier than an XBOX controller.

It does feel weird at first coz other controllers are smaller and more comapct. And as for long gaming sessions, it's not like you hold it up towards the screen, you just rest it in your hands or lap like you do when using PS3 or XBOX controllers.

As for the screen, depending on the game, it can either be used partly in game as an in-game menu/pasue menu, map, and some games have off-screen play, which means you can play the game on the Gamepad screen alone. This is good if the wife or kids want to use the TV, or you want to play in bed or elsewhere in the house. I also installed Netflix on my Wii U so i can watch TV show and movies on my Gamepad. Great stuff.

Courtesy of the very generous Paulbot; I received all these yesterday, eliminating many a poor quality .Mp3 and greatly expanding my collection of Aqua .Mp3s in the process!

Really enjoyed the last season of The Office. Good surprise at the end too.

^This may sound a little strange, but... I don't think that the Toy Story collection really fits in well? Then again, it probably would be scary if Toy Story were to happen in real life...

Nice collection, and lots of classics I see. Enjoy your Halloween viewing, I hope you survive it!

Perhaps, if you were a "rat-bag" of a kid like Sid anyway.

My 1st introduction to Horror films was Stephen King's - "The Graveyard Shift" at about 6 or 7 years old, so I reckon I should be able to survive.
(I 1st saw "Aliens" when I was 4 or 5 but I think of that more as a Scifi )
