I want to know if you have actually done it, not just seen someone do it. Is it worth the extra 15 bucks for a bluetooth adapter?

Yea, I've done it. It's pretty fun but it's quite the hassle. I'd mainly just use the classic controller to play games that I don't want to play with KB/M.

The question is, why would you want to when you have a keyboard and mouse sitting right in front of you?

Wii doesn't support HD so the HDTV is kinda pointless.

Not really, because the 360 supports hi def, just not the highest possible resolution. The Wii doesn't support any form of hi def to the best of my knowledge.

Imagine pointing a wii mote at a15" monitor. There are no Pc games that are designed for motion sensing so it is useless. :)

That's not entirely true. PC games are designed to recognize input as defined by the API (on Windows, this is known as DirectInput). Third-party peripheral makers program their drivers to interface with DirectInput. Therefore, any device that has input capabilities could (theoretically) be programmed to work in PC games if a proper driver was available. The games themselves don't necessarily require any special programming, although it could provide much more flexibility, and it is possible, as we've seen with the Half-Life 2 Wiimote mod. And I'm definitely down for using the Wiimote on my PC. It'd be perfect for pr0n, lol.

So do I. But, yeah, I have heard of an N64 emulator that has an OOT Wiimote mod, and the HL2 mod.
