Billiards

I don’t understand what accessories I need to buy for the Wii in order to be able to play multiplayer. I get that I should buy an additional Wii Remote Controller, and Wii Nunchuk Controller. Do I need to buy the Wii Classic Controller at all? Also, do I need to buy a memory card (if so, would 1GB be enough to start)?

Last thing — would $450.00 be a reasonable price if all of these things are included?

Nintendo Wii Console U.S.A. Version
2 Wii Remote Controllers
1 Wii Nunchuk Controller
Wii Console Stand
Sensor Bar
Wii AC Adapter
Wii AV Cable
5 Game Wii Sports Bundle Disc (Baseball, Tennis, Golf, Bowling and Boxing games)
1 Year Nintendo U.S.A. Warranty
9 Game Wii Play Disc Includes:Shooting Range, Billiards, Find Mii, Tanks!, Pose Mii, Table Tennis, Fishing, Charge! and Laser Hockey games

$450 is a price too high to pay for all these, i bought mine for a lesser price at http://www.last-minute-gifts-guide.com/. I asked a few question from the site owner before deciding to get a wii set on the site.

I am going. on a trip in a few hours. I will be stopping in Prince George, Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Edmonton. I am sure all of these places have good book stores. What magazine or helpful book do you recommend me to get? I am a novice and want to master the basics of shooting pool. Also, I would be happy to read about different types of pool tables, accessories equipment, etc. What is the best deal for my $, and what should I look out for on the shelves.

Robert Byrne’s Standard Book of Pool And Billiards (you can check this out from your local library at no cost —–the best Pool book on the market to this day— THE "must-have" book for novices and pros alike).

The Inner Game of Tennis by- Tim Gallwey (Yes, I said, tennis. This book was recommended to me years ago. It’s about trusting your skills and not letting your ming or ego get in the way of your game —-one of THE best books I read regarding competition and the mental game).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Those oughta’ keep you busy for awhile. I have several books of ‘road’ stories and the like, written by players. They’re all packed up, so I can’t help you there. Perhaps someone will come up with some entertaining Pool Story books for you here. In the meantime, Robert Byrne’s book, will keep you enticed, eager, and even entertained.

Have a great trip!

My Dad’s birthday is near and we’re planning to buy him a gift. He loves playing billiards and stays most of his spare time in the pool room.

Anywhere I could find unique pool room accessories or pool room decors?

Could always get him a giant 8 ball.
