my sister has it but i use it more then she does (we both live at home with mum and dad)

if you go on the jogging you should look for the mario pictures that are hidden in the course eg the one that is on a pillar of the bridge.

cheaper then the monies you would spend on a gym membership. (the price would only get you a few months in a gym)

No. I have no intention of buying anything more for the Wii, given that it's shown itself to be the gimmicky piece of junk I always suspected it might end up being. If only my sister hadn't bought Mario Kart Wii for herself for the system, I'd have already sold all my Wii paraphernalia.

I find it amusing, and yes it's cheaper in the long run than a gym (and thankfully no where near as many people around :)) however it's only useful if you *use* it. Just owning it and pulling it out when you are occationally bored isn't going to do much health wise... I like the yoga as well. I find it relaxing and it has a nifty blue circle that expands and contracts to time your breathing to. Though, I actually hurt the first few days of using it... :?

I want to get it, but it's a little too pricey for my taste and budget right now. I did see a review of it on TV and it does look like fun and a good way to lose a few lbs. Which is a good plus for DH and I.

Right now we are going to wait it out and hope the prices comes down eventually.

This is also my opinion about the Wii. The Gamecube is far cheaper and features most of the same games. I sold my Wii and bought a Gamecube.

I'm one of those "hard-core" gamers, I've been playing since I was about 6 and have owned most of the consoles at one point or another.

I just don't find shaking my arm around while standing a metre away from the television because I can't move any further away while playing Zelda my idea of fun. Neither do I enjoy having to choose between the turd fest third party games made for the Wii, and the first party games which while high in quality are lacking in any originality whatsoever.

I'm all for Nintendo's philosophy of not trying to copy Sony and Microsoft's strategies, I just don't think the Wii does nearly as good a job at achieving that as the Nintendo DS has done.

Our company-secretary owns one (55 years +), and is really happy with it. Seems to have a good controlling, because normally she isnt into computers or media at all.
