Wii Fit??

I have never really been a big video game fan.  I had the original Nintendo system when I was a kid and enjoyed playing it back then, but haven't really played video games in the past 10 years. I was visiting family in Indianapolis over the weekend and they have a Wii Fit.  It seemed so cool!  I was wondering if any of you have a Wii?  If so, do you have Wii Fit?  I am considering purchasing both, but I am worried that I won't know how to set it all up.  Is it easy to do?  Any suggestions?  I know they're hard to find in the store, but they have some on ebay for $489?  Is that a rip-off??   Can you play Rock Band on a Wii?  Or is that on another gaming system?  (You can tell I really don't know much about this stuff! haha)

We have a Wii and it is so fun!  The basic game CD that come with it (sports like bowling, boxing, baseball and golf) really get you moving and sweating.  You can make your own Mii to use so you get to be creative.  I have had mine for about a year and purchased off Ebay.  I would recommend looking at the seller's feedback before bidding, but mine was great.   Since they only come with one controller if you buy another one I would recommend the one that comes with a Wii Game (I can't remember the name of the game).  It is about $10 more than a controller and has several fun games that teach you to use the remote (target shooting, cow racing, pool, air hockey and fishing).  These also get you moving!  There is a game on it called find Mii and it is really good for your brain and reaction time.  I am addicted to that one. I don't have the Wii Fit, but did pick up a CD demo.  It looks awesome and I have been trying to catch one in the stores.  The also make the dance party's for Wii that they say will get you moving and burn a ton of calories! Good Luck! Kristy

We Wii! The system is only $250 in stores.  It's a good idea to call your local Game Stop or Best Buy daily and it shouldn't take you long to catch one in stock. Truthfully the Wii Fit is harder to find these days then the system.  I might get it eventually but it is kind of pricey. As for Rock Band...yes it is available for the Wii.  We got it for our Xbox 360 though because you can download (buy) more songs for it and the Wii Rock Band doesn't have that option.  But if we only had a Wii we would have gotten it.  The other thing to remember is Rock Band 2 is coming out this fall. And I agree even Wii Sports gets you up and moving!

All this Wii, Wii, talk makes me go to the bathroom! HaHa!!

I havent seen one up close or used one, but I just heard about things like tennis, and hula hoop.  They do give you a workout from what I hear.  Wish I could give you a review but I havent used them or had access.  Let us know!

I was going to post about the Wii Fit this weekend...I LOVE IT!!! We just got a Wii 2 weeks ago and the Wii Fit this week...my husband drove over an hour away to get the Will Fit because we could not find it here in Knoxville. It checks your weight and keeps track of your exercise. I would recommend it to anyone! I have never been one to exercise but it is so much fun and does offer a challange...the only thing is that I have to wait my turn...LOL.
Hope you find one and have lots of fun exercising!!
