How many of you have the Nintendo Wii? If you do have you seen this new toy they're coming out with? It's their new WiiFit. What is it you ask? Basically it's a game/fitness tool that changes the way you work out. It's a combination of balancing and exercising tool that incorporates balancing, aerobics, yoga and strength training.

This crazy new toy is priced at $89.99 USD!

I may consider it but will have to see it in person and decide. I played with the Wii sport fitness and was able to score a ripe young age of 21 after a few tries and have since quit so I can maintain that facade of the 21 yr old body in the Wii environment. :chair: I'm suspecting this new WiiFit is much more difficult so cheating like I did on the Wii Sports is probably not going to happen :ban:

That looks pretty cool. I wonder what games they'll have to exploit that...

whatcha trying to say Blake? that I'm fat :flipoff:

haha jk, Actually I really think the Wii is a great gaming system. It really changes the way you interact with the games now and is definitely a must have if you don't have one. The eye/hand/body coordination is great and will only make you more agile because of it. I know I'm more agile now but then again I'm not 90+ like some old farts that I've seen playing the Wii. Now that's comedy!

Any insight on when Rock Band will be available for the Wii?

WiiFit looks interesting but GuitarHero or RockBand and Patron is more our speed.
