Nintendo Wii owners take note. Amazon.com is currently taking pre-orders for a Vertical Wii Stand / Cradle. The suggested retail price on these units is $27 but an Amazon pre-order will net you the setup for $16 + shipping (Primer members receive free 2-day and $3.99 overnight). A little paltry if as far as storage options are concerning – 2 Wiimotes, misc memory cards, and a pair of Nunchucks. I guess the other two sets & various bits will need to be stuffed behind the couch cushions.

The device obviously falls into either one of two categories. 1) Complete and utter junk, or 2) a godsend for the naturally unorganized within each of us. On the topic of Wii’s, during recent family get together which opened the Tennis game up to four members, I was unfortunate to witness two seperate Wiimote related head injuries. One of which resulted in a Goosebump Wii-bump on the back of a younger cousins head. Do take care to do a few practice swings at full arms reach to clear the area before playing.
