Old Bags Love The “Wii”

Here’s another post for the “Most Bizarre!” Section of our website and boy this time its bizarrreeee! These pensioners are livening up their retirement home ? by competing with each other on the Nintendo Wii. Residents as old as 103 have ditched knitting and bridge after getting hooked on the console.

?It?s great fun. We?ve only had it a few days but we can?t put it down. - Barrie Edgar, 88?

The Sun is reporting that residents as old as 103 have ditched knitting and bridge after getting hooked on the console. The console has even become a staple in retirement communities and taught us that 47 percent of all casual game players are 50 or older, and nearly 20 percent are 60 or older.

Jayne, who is now organising leagues, said It?s captured everyone?s imagination.

?Most residents are in their 80s and 90s.

?Things have got quite competitive.?

I think it’s great that everyone of all ages are enjoying games on all sorts of game consoles however the day my auntie, grandma or any old bat beats me in my favorite games (such as halo 3) I will have to officially retire.

Talking about consoles, We still have halo 3 up for grabs, check out the official post to ensure your entry to our contest in which you can win a free copy of Halo 3 or $50, hurry up though as the competition ends on the 24th (results announce 25th).
