" So, don't you own a TV or what's the problem here? Seems like a mighty shitty party with everyone huddled over a laptop playing Wii games on a tiny screen with potentially laggy/blurry video.  "

" you people are fixated on theese three titles, i dont like em my choice, and again why would they build a console for only 3 titles, its bullshit people are givin me some great titles here why others are just bumbing zelda mario and metroid. Thanks for the help(people who didnt moan) "

When I can get a no frills Xbox 360 for less than $150 and with rebate I could jiggle it around $100, I would buy it.

There are at least 100 good games for the wii.

I sure wish a bunch of games on the HD systems used the Wii remote. As for the online, it would have been great to have a more fleshed out online system on the console itself, but it kinda stopped being necessary with the advent of Web 2.0. It's faster to Twitter someone to play than to message them on XBL. These are great and valid arguments, but they aren't any greater than the ones made against the HD systems. "
  
Mario Kart 2 has an online app which allows you to play. It's actually great. In Tatsunoko vs Capcom, you can make rivals which makes it a lot easier to play with. If you go on SRK, here and various fan sites, you can cull 100s of users that are on a lot.

Yup, after I saw youtube videos of people using it, I couldn't complain. As a heads up to others wondering, use amazon.com and not .ca. Amazon .com is $50 cheaper and the shipping is negligible as it's such a small product. I also have ordered the Wode jukebox for convenience, Gamecube controller, Classic controller and a Wii Fightstick. I would order more controllers, but everyone that comes over just wants to play the party games.

Ok thanks guys! I am getting the EasyCap capture device for about $8 off Amazon, so with shipping (to Canada) it will be about $15. I have found a way to get everything working on Windows 7 x64. Once I have a nice video of me showing how, I will post it up here so others who want to play games on their laptop will know how.  
  
Edit: @saminougat: Yup, the videos show that the quality and lag is minimal. For $15 you can't complain really. It was either that or buying a 200+ device.   
 
Second Edit: Grammar. 

I was told to get an XGA box ( http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-86-49-en-70-2nl.html), now I need a way to connect it to my laptop. What do you guys suggest?  
 
I found something called a gamebridge. A guy even showed how you can hook it up to your laptop  http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3535  
 
Edit: I found out that I should just get a PCMIA TV tuner card as the above has alot of lag.

I checked and it is indeed output. It seems that I have to do this through by USB port. How should I go about doing this?
