...but I'm not actually sure if I have a need for it. The Wii meets all of my (casual) gaming needs (Mario Kart Wii is great fun).

At first I was chuffed that I'd actualy won something (in a Microsoft VS2008 competition) but, now that it's sitting here next to me, still sealed, I'm not sure if its worth me opening it. Will I use it? Hmmm... To use it as a wireless media centre (streaming DivX sounded cool), I'd need to invest in an adapter @ £50 - £60. Money I haven't got. I'm not really an avid gamer, so I wouldn't use it as a games console.

I hate ebay, so the thought of selling it on there doesn't appeal to me. The combination of ebay and PayPal fees is just too much these days.

Do any of the UK retailers (Game, Game Station etc) buy consoles from Joe Public? Does anyone know how much they'd give me if I traded it in?
