  Quick clarification.

  The Wii gaming console is separate

  If you buy Wii Fitness, you also need the Wii gaming console, to use the products as they were intended.

  (Otherwise you could try using the board as weights or a step board … and meditate while looking at the DVD packet … :P)

  Wii dumbbells. Are you serious ? Geezuz. Firstly 1kg dumbbells isn't going to do anything, secondly, whats the point of having it on the wii ?

  This is why i hate the wii, too much gimmicks and crap "games". How much mario crap can they churn out.

    Gimmicks? :) It's not just dumbbells … it's Everlast branded Wii dumbbells :P

    (That was meant to be a joke on my part :) )

    If it's helping to get certain people to get up and exercise … properly (so not hurting themselves, bending incorrectly etc) … as opposed to say, just sitting on the couch … then it is doing something …

    But I agree, it's not going to be helpful for everyone

    I'm wondering, since it's a Wii accessory, maybe it has a gyro or something inside, to sense movement.

    So it could also be used as the counter, to monitor that a person is doing exercises. eg weights are held whilst doing lunges

    Put it this way: the only reason I don't own a Mario title is because I don't have a nintendo.

    Also: 1kg dumbbells are very useful when combined with the right exercises.

    Nintendo could crap in a can and people would buy it. To each their own. You don't necessarily need to hate it — just don't buy it.

  Apparently 10% off sitewide and free shipping.
  I added Wii Fit Plus to my cart and tried through paypal and it added $3 shipping.
  Perhaps they should change their ad at the top of their site, which states "10% Off & Free Shipping On Now" and the conditions (which only exclude Large CD and DVD boxsets, and CD singles).

    !?

    They had a link on there this morning, that went to a calendar showing the special for everyday. :S !

    Today's special was supposed to be 25% off their prices for the Wii Fit gear and free shipping.

    Hmm :( Not impressed

    Sounds like it's changed or there's an old reference, as the asterisk beside the banner and the other link also state "excludes gaming hardware."
