I have pre-ordered my Wii Fit!

by GeekMom on April 23, 2008

About a week ago, I got an e-mail from Amazon’s notification system that the Wii Fit is available for pre-order. So I bought it! I can hardly wait to try it out.

If you aren’t familiar with the Wi Fit, you can see a video demo at the official Nintendo site. The games and activities work with a sensor balance board. You stand on it, dance, do yoga poses, practice balancing, and lots of other stuff. It looks like a good way to get moving and practice using your core muscles. I’m excited because I love games, and I hate exercise. If this is exercise disguised as a game, I’m all over it!

I can hardly wait until the Man in Brown delivers it to my home (estimated arrival date: May 23, 2008). You can bet I’ll be telling you all about it!

I so want it but I don’t know if I can afford it right now. I love Wii and I think the whole family would do this together and work out.

I was interested in this but at £69.99 it’s a bit steep. (That works out at like $140 USD). Either way I hope you enjoy it, be sure to do a follow up post on any progress. :)

Cheers.

I love the Wii stuff, I could easily get addicted to all this stuff, it’s very clever.

@Chris – I think I got it for about $80USD from Amazon.com.

$80 from amazon? I thought the Wii went for over $300… Am I missing something? Anyway – I love the Wii, friends of ours have it and it is awesome. You can definitely get a workout from this thing. Have fun!

@Melissa – Sorry, I meant the Wii Fit was about $80. :-) You’re right, the Wii itself is more expensive.
