Advantages: Remote, size, games available, USB ports, features, Disadvantages: None
I was one of the lucky ones to be able to get one of these consoles at Christmas. Despite pre-ordering well in advance (September!) I still didn't get one, until they suddenly came on sale the a few days before Christmas on Amazon. Of course, they were all sold out in about five minutes. The current low supply of Nintendo Wiis is the only downside to this brilliant console.
The Wii is the fifth of Nitendo's home gaming consoles after the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64 and Gamecube. It was first mentioned in 2004 at E3 and then unveiled for the very first time in 2005. Originally, it was going to be called Nintendo Revolution because of its revolutionary design. It was first released in North America on November 19th 2006, and the following month here in Europe.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Nintendo Wii
Advantages: inteligent varied original Disadvantages: their last record as a group
Some are born great,as the saying goes ,others have greatness

all eager for more of their punk/ska riotous rapture ,however in
the spirit of true greatness and wanton defiance they delivered
"More Specials" in the autumn of 1980,and in direct conflict to its title could well have been called "Less Specials "
In the twelve months which had elapsed between their debut and this daring follow up the musical landscape had changed a great deal ,the fury of punk which gave rise to the groups foundations was now a fading memory as new sounds and movements splinterd into a varied buffet of sounds and movements ...
Advantages: It's the Specials! Disadvantages: One or two tracks not so good.
Specials - The Specials
It's 1979 I am 16 going on 17, left school and am a scooter skin, which basically meant I rode a scooter (Lambretta SX 200) and had a skinhead.
I was into Ska in a big way, but old style skinhead Ska, The Pioneers, The Upsetters etc. Then something happened, we got British Ska, The Beat, Selector, Madness (early on) and the best of all, The Specials. I have two vinyl LP's left in my house, this one (very scratched) and one by a band called Back To The Planet. This LP rocked, it got played over and over from '79 to '81 (when The Jam took over for me).
~~~~~The Band~~~~~
The band themselves seemed to consist of hundreds of people, though in fact there were:
Jerry Dammers - Keyboards
Terry Hall - Vocals
Neville Staple - Vocals and percussion
Roddy radiation - Guitar
(Sir) Horace Gentleman - Bass ...
