Thinking about it, just wondered if anyone had bought it and if so what is it like?

yes me .... very good fun ... i have just raced the kids on down hill ski and rope walking then did hula hoops. :0 knackered so having a rest...

highly recommended it RS .. :)

Yep, I'm loving it.........

Another reason for getting one is Nintendo are going to bring other games out which require the use of the balance board.

Yep, its a complete hit in our house.

I can hear the kids laughing in the other room:D

im getting it cant wait

When I get a Wii (soon), this and Mario Kart Wii are definitely on my shopping list.

Got one delivered yesterday - hilarious.
Both the kids love it and went to bed exhausted last night.

Can't get my other half off it right now! According to the Wii, I'm now 3 lbs lighter than last night all because I went running today and had a right good blast on the bog! :D

We've got Mario Kart its really good, we take it in turns to wear the baseball cap, whoever is driving wears the cap.:hihi:

Be interesting to see how much weight you've lost porky!!:hihi:

My boyfriend nipped into town yesturday morning to go to HMV for a few things and was asking one of the assistants about the wii fit and apparently some of the staff from CEX bought all their stock at £69.99 and put it on sale in CEX for £80.

Bought it played it been amazed by it. Nintendo are without doubt leaving sony and microsoft well behind when it comes to innovation

Be Warned, there is a max weight limit of 21 stone. If you are thinking of buying it for someone, please check first. I had to and it wasn't suitable at the time.

Cheers

Squeejie

Absolutely. What Ninty have done this generation really will have implications long in to the future. I say let MS and Sony fight for the me too lot with the flash graphics. Nintendo will be and are scooping up everybody else and making very loyal fans out of them.

argos had sold out tday in meadowhall but game had them for £70

Bought it played it been amazed by it. Nintendo are without doubt leaving sony and microsoft well behind when it comes to innovation

Absolutely. Sony and MS think it's all about graphics and RAM, etc. whilst Ninetendo just know it's all about FUN.

Hats off to them.

PS. Love the Fit, and lost 70 pounds already.

:hihi:

I really want one!! When all your kids get sick of them (i give it a week:hihi:) Will someone sell me one cheap?! :D

Will you actually get fit?

I need some motivation. Bored of the new gym membership already!!!

Has anyone actually got one left as I have looked on line and everyone is out of stock

Apparently Morrisons has loads

Do you know which Morissons has loads in stock - I really have to get a wii fit asap :hihi:

Nintendo will be and are scooping up everybody else and making very loyal fans out of them.Indeed. Out of the so-called 'next gen' consoles only the wii is next gen. Only the wii has improved and advanced gaming and only the wii is offering something different. I'm sure PS3 is great and i know 360 is a superb machine but ultimately they're nothing more than a tarted up megadrive

Do you know which Morissons has loads in stock - I really have to get a wii fit asap :hihi:

I think its the one at Hillsborough

Asda had loads in Chapeltown on Friday night - also cheapest I've seen them - just under £65.00

My OH got me one for my birthday .. but that's not till May 18th .. trying to persuade him to let me open it now so I can get fit for Southport weekender in two weeks time.

I had a go on a friends yesterday, seems its just weighing scales in a box but it's quite entertaining. The ballance things are good fun and it tries to teach you Yoga and stuff. Not sure whow it would make you fit but I don't think brain training games do much for your brain either! Getting out the house if probably a better idea if you really want to get fit but it's good fun.

I used mine this morning ...

It's not weighing scales in a flippin box .. there is so much more to it -

I think you could burn more calories doing the ironing too be honest.

I think you could burn more calories doing the ironing too be honest.Maybe if you were into extreme ironing or you ironed for about 5 hours solid or you're a moron who confuses ironing with using Wii Fit

I had a go on a friends yesterday, seems its just weighing scales in a box but it's quite entertaining.

I like the interviews on the Nintendo site - they give a good insight into how the balance board was created and how designers were asked to develop 'something like bathroom scales' :)

http://us.wii.com/wii-fit/iwata_asks/vol2_page1.jsp

They actually went to visit manufacturers of scales. The amount of pulling out of hair and redesigning the chaps at Nintendo did was extraordinary :)

It's fascinating to find out just how your body moves on the board - at the end of some exercises you are drawn a line of your left and right movement.

I never realised I was so unfit though .. I only did the short jogging exercise and was puffing and panting.

Maybe if you were into extreme ironing or you ironed for about 5 hours solid or you're a moron who confuses ironing with using Wii Fit

No not at all, but being someone who knows a bit about how your body uses energy and the most efficient way of losing body fat, I can tell you that this little step isn't going to tear the calories off you. Its the same with Wii Sport, if anyone is depending on their Nintendo as a means of shedding a few pounds I can only predict a very long, hard slog :thumbsup:

That said, at least it will be mildly entertaining.

In the respect that people will be aware of their height, weight, bmi (although I don't take the BMI too seriously) then yes, it serves a purpose. But as a mean to get fit, yes we can both agree its useless :)

My God .. anyone who says that Yoga is easy ....

My God .. anyone who says that Yoga is easy ....The muscle building isn't a walk in the park either!

I've not even got on to that one yet DD !! I hardly did anything today .. just some yoga and balancing as I have the most awful hangover ... erlachh ! So bad that I had to get out of the car and throw up in a bush earlier. lol

Don't think the Wii Fit is actually about getting fit. It seems to mention your posture quite alot and that's as important as anything.

It doesn't just expect you to use this as a get fit thing as it gives you a log to write down any other activities you have done in the day (gym, jog, walking etc).

I personally enjoy it. As an M.E sufferer it helps me do gentle exercise and can feel the muscles in my legs working nearly straight away.

:thumbsup: to Nintendo

Doesn't this depend on who you are and how fit you want to be. I could see it being a great tool for people who can't get about much to get some exercise. Surely you can agree any is better than none.

Thats what i love about you Saff, every inch a lady!

LOL .. Thank the lord yesterday is over and gone ... I feel tip top now !

Having had an Op on my back last year and still having disk problems, both of which are constantly giving me problems, the Wii lets me do exercise at MY pace. I have tried the gym, but the only thing I can do is the treadmill and even then I have to stop after 10 minutes of fast walking. With the wii I can at least TRY things in my own time.

I never considered it for people who have since replied to my last post, so yes, I suppose it is a good outlet for fitness.

Can I have custard with my slice of humble?

Ok, Ok, whats everyones highest score on (3 min duration) Super hula hoop eh?eh?
846!!!!! Kerching!!

well .. I have actually acheived the weight loss I set myself - 4lbs since I started on the wii! Yay! Plus, my stomach muscles are showing signs of actually being there !

Well done with the super hula hoop .. that's a real stomach toner isnt it? I still can't get the hang of catching the hoops and swivelling my hips at the same time .. hmmm ...

The trick is Saffy, you don't catch the hoops and swivel at the same time, the second after they've thrown it stop swivelling and lean right over to the corresponding side - your swivelling hoop shouldn't fall down in the process : )

I just bought a Wii today, so I'm going to be getting Wii Fit in a couple of months when I've saved some funds (that and the fact it'll be a couple of months till anywhere's got any in anyway)

why buy something that tells you your obese or your age is 53 when your age is 28 sod that and look at the price

I love Wii Fit :love:
It motivates me in the way that going to the gym and exercise dvds could never do. I even get up earlier in the morning to do it. I think it's brilliant :love:

why buy something that tells you your obese or your age is 53 when your age is 28 sod that and look at the priceBecause you'll lthen do something about it? So eventually you won't be obese. It doesn't tell you your age is 53. It tells you your performance reflects that of someone who is 53 theres a massive difference

The price is £70. To join a gym costs way more over a year. YOu clearly know the price of everything and the value of nothing

I really want this but it is sold out everywhere. going ot look on amazon.
wii sports is excellent, I have had great fun bowling and playing tennis so Im looking forward to finally getting my hands on this one !! :)

anyone know of any stock trying to get a wii fit tried everywhere

Try HMV, they had some in Town last week.

I have one if you're interested. Brand new, unopened.

My OH has it and it's fab! it;s harder than you think though - the yoga one is sooo hard but it's great -I love it!

After hearing all the fuss about it for the last few weeks I finally had my first go on Wii Fit last night at my sister-in-law's house. Great fun and the jogging really brought me out in a sweat too. Felt good as I've not been involved in any form of exercise for ages. Scary though when it's measuring up your BMI and actual body age. It told me I was 43 and I'm only 32!!!! :o :o :o

Need to save up and get miself a Wii Fit. :D

yeah me parents finally got one really stroke of luck Toys r us in Conventry me dads a lorry driver so he called there they had 20 but its next to the main Toys r us warehouse

I really fancy it too, but can't really afford it.
