While I'd like to commend them on this move, since I've worked on Internet Music-on-Demand Radio with a few large hotels, you should be anticipating the next big thing - the VGAA. Be afraid, seriously folks.

My guess is that the rooms with the Wii will cost $200-$400 more... as well as a $500 tv replacement fee (if there is such occurrence) ;)

How about stolen WII remotes? It would seem that those things would disappear on a regular basis.

"Further, the games would be pre-loaded and therefore will not require mucking about with game discs. Instead, just point your Wii remote at the TV and voila, Wii Fit will pop up for your enjoyment. " ----- Hey, I want this option for my Wii at home!

Agreed. That would be teh awesome. Oh and as far as stolen wii remotes go, they're probably sync locked to hotel consoles.
