Thanks for the replies. guys.  We would use this for the fitness part #1 and entertainment at other times for 2.    My wife has been watching her weight and doing well, and I *cough* have been finding what she has lost.   :cry

On the fitness stuff, is it a one person thing or can we both do say, tennis, or skiing or snowboarding, whatever?  I see where maybe some games are multi person but we would buy it for fitness first.

Also, lol I live in the boonies.  I dont have a local bestbuy to go to.  In fact my closest one is 170 miles away.  We have to drive 65 miles to eat a McSandwich or a Wendy's, or a Walmart.  Out town is of roughly 850 population and I live outside of town on a farm.

I'm sure there's more to it than just using a Wii board. Either additional training or/and less caloric food input.

If not, the wii would probably the most effective excercise machine in the world.  ;)

Actually no...  It was the wii game alone.  I changed nothing about my diet.  I did 30 minutes of the rythm boxing daily.  It is actually a fair workout for somebody who is unable to do anything high impact like me.

`bought my wife a Wii with balance board and Wii fit plus 8 weeks ago. She enjoys it very much. Meanwhile her friend has one too, and both spend some couple of hours in the week. I like playing golf and playing tennis. I am not into this yoga-stuff. Last week I bought Wii Sports Resort and Mario Kart. Not as addictive as AH, but much fun (Wii has on board wifi - connecting it to my WLAN-router took about few minutes. There is even an opera internetbrowser installed...)

Get the wii !  It is endless fun for everyone also if you are into shooters get the wii blaster with either call of duty world at war or modern warfare.  I have both and it is alot of fun.  people will reply the xbox and ps3 graphics blow it out of the water and that is true.  the wii makes up for it in gameplay.

Wii love our wii.
Wii use it all the time though wii need to get some more games. Wii just finished Super Paper Mario, and we're well into Mario Galaxy. The Sports games are pretty good, I do like the golf ones. We're also playing some of the old gamecube ones on it too.

That's funny right there...first time I got on it, the thing said "cannot calculate your weight, one person at a time please"...last time I got on it, started calculating my weight then froze and rebooted. I think it's trying to tell me something.  :headscratch:
