I hired one to see if I liked it or not - and Im not sure if it was the hired one or what but I didnt find it very acurate.

Like when we were playing the baseball one you could just flick it and it hit it if that makes sense?

I kind of thought that for the price it would be super acurate?

The bundle is exactly the same price at work, but I get staff discount on it, so it makes it cheaper...the Fit Plus bundle is the same price at work as well, so I'll get it from there.

Stacey...I don't have enough cleavage to try it!!!!

There is away you can Synchronizing the Wii Remote with the Wii Console & then the timing & everything will be ok.

Not sure about hired one as I don't think they would be looked after as well.

Do it...if you are getting it at a good price then it will be well worth it. It is a lot of fun

We got ours last April, we used it a whole heap for the first 6 or so months, even took it to my parents house when we visited. Everyone has a blast on it. But, it hasn't been used since DS was born.

We have Shaun White snowboarding, Sports, Sports Resort, Fit & Crash Bandicoot. According to DH the graphics are pretty average (when comapred to PS), but it really is heaps of fun.

 

Our nephew (3yo) has played a few of the games on sports resort, he had no idea what he was doing but got a real kick out of it all the same.

DS really wants a Wii, we have an old PS2 but I think the Wii would be heaps better, at least he wouldnt just be staring at the screen, the Wii seems like a great option

We have a wii and wii fit and a bunch of games. We played it a lot when we first got it but dont use it as much now. DH uses it a lot more than me, especially since he got mario galaxy 2 for his birthday. I think it depends if you like video games or not as to how much you would use it.

So those that use it do you use it for fitness or more for playing video games?

We have an old xbox which DS used to watch his movies onto a PS2 our which he has just started playing in the last 6 months or so and brought myself a wii last year with the wii fit, a fitness work plus the resort game.

I think the wii has got a lot more kid friendly games.

I've just arranged to buy one from one of the girls at work - her and her DP bought it a couple of months ago, but are more into the shoot em up games, which Wii doesn't really offer....so I get the Wii, Wii Sports, the Olympic Games one and 3 other games for just over $400 And will then get the Wii Fit Plus to go with it!
