I was planning on going to best buy like a half hour before it opens... think I should get there earlier?GinaTue, 20 May 2008 20:47:43 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-496211Well I mean one session. I only received it the day before so last night was my first opportunity to have a play. I accrued 53 minutes of 'fitness' time last night. I'm going to try and get at least 30-45 mins of activity on it each night if I can. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you're up and running (literally).Lee RichardsTue, 20 May 2008 10:37:07 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-496022Only used it once Lee?! I can't wait to get it! I think it's going to add a lot more excitement to playing with the wii....<br><br>I do have the HDTV cable too...altho I wish I had more inputs on my tv to allow HDTV for it...right now the xbox is taking it up..unless I switch that to HDMIijohnTue, 20 May 2008 10:04:42 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-495184Wii Fit is £69.99 in the UK which equates to about $135 at the current rates. Only used it once so far, last night when I got it and it looks like fun. I haven't seen the boxing yet so I imagine that's an event I'll need to unlock. The only slight negative for me is that it doesn't present you with a full workout, i.e. it's up to you to select which individual event you want to do. I also purchased the component cable which certainly improves the quality of the image on a HDTV by allowing you to use the 480p option. Not sure if this cable is standard in other territories, it isn't in the UK (there's a surprise!).Lee RichardsTue, 20 May 2008 05:47:59 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-493307Man..talk about being a little expensive over there in Australia! I guess we shouldn't complain about the price!ijohnMon, 19 May 2008 18:44:49 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-493295They're so cheap in the US. Here in Australia they sell for $149.99 (about US$140), but managed to get one for $119.<br><br>They really are fantastic though, and have a good balance of hard work and fun! Wii Fit boxing is probably my favourite, made me really sore.<br><br>Enjoy, hope you find one.itsrossMon, 19 May 2008 18:42:13 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-493248Hey Ross! Thanks for the good insight on the Fit! I guess I will have to get a cover for it now....<br><br>I am seriously thinking about Best Buy since you can get the We Ski for $10 off...I think I'm going to call around tomorrow and see who will have them in stock Wednesday morning!<br><br>As far as prices, they are all same unless you have a coupon for a store. They are selling for $89. Toys R Us has a coupon also for $5 off and Best Buy has a $10 off coupon for games until the 22nd. <br><br>I might get lucky on Wednesday and get one! We'll see.....<br><br>Oh yea..i meant peeking...I had to clear the cache! Thanks!ijohnMon, 19 May 2008 18:32:05 -0000http://www.ijohnw.com/2008/05/19/wii-fit-excitement-in-the-air/#comment-493212It was pretty easy to get a Wii Fit here in Australia when they came out..at least for the 1st day. A good tip is to go to one of the more expensive stores, and then have them price match..the expensive stores had lots of stock lol<br><br>Also recommend getting a rubber cover for the balance board, as the thing gets pretty dirty fast...its so darn white!<br><br>ps i think you mean peeking?itsrossMon, 19 May 2008 18:24:59 -0000
