Why? It looks fun to me. That's like saying if you play Wii Sports you're a girl.

Original Xbox failure rate was supposedly 33%.

no wiisports is differnt i only play bowling on it becouse its the only decent game on it=D... but if you do wiisports for exersice your a twat and need to "harden the **** up" good ol RJ... and get to a gym or just go for a run wiifit is pointless just go get your self a ymca member ship if you cant afford a real membership and get into shape that way if you are getting wiifit for a bit of fun i can kind of understand that but at its price you are paying to much for somthing that isnt really that much fun...

go to a gym work out make friends i spent 50% of the time at the gym to day with 1 mate i ended up staying half n hour extra to hang with him and i feel better for that!!

You've played it have you?

toomstone · 05-08-2008, 09:48 AM

yeah i have taken it for a short test drive=D i might get it for 98 around xmas time or somthing when brawl wears off

Apollo · 05-08-2008, 10:47 AM

Being a brawl tester is hard work

I might pick up wiifit when its cheaper

Deanis · 05-08-2008, 12:01 PM

Its almost cheap for what it is... For starters its a controller ($70 if you follow Wii), its also scales ($20+), comes with a 'game' thats also a personal trainer ($100+++), a gym class ($20/month++), and could possibly be used to control games like never before (priceless).

So Priceless+$210= Pretty good value for 90bucks.

(I was always bad at maths).

Ekiushi · 05-08-2008, 01:23 PM

I take great offense to the comment that wiifit is for girls. Greatly insulting. That's like saying things like Alien & Predator is only for guys. Or that Mortal Kombat is only for guys. When are you people going to learn to stop stereotyping people? I refuse to fit into one. I will continue to watch things like Alien & Predator (And yes, I realise I still technically need to actually WATCH Alien, rather then my eyelids) and then go and gawk at McDreamey. Hmm but really, McDreamey isn't that great, but yet I am still strangely drawn to his movies. Oh and gawking at Johnny Depp, but thats like the most normal thing ever.

So what have we learnt? NO STEREOTYPING! I don't stereotype YOU, when I could quite easily come up with one.

Deanis · 05-08-2008, 02:15 PM

Amen! Speak it from the soul sister!

I cant afford WiiFit atm, I am at a stage for once where I cant afford to buy random crap that I'll hardly ever use. Shame really.

bigwilliiy · 05-08-2008, 09:23 PM

I got wiifit for 98 at myers.

The cost is 109 bucks then my mum has a 10% discount thingy and 98 shhh

ah

I think it was somethink like 18 percent

I was smart enough to be one of those people to Just bide my time and not buy one untill they had a reliable fix for all the problems. So im loving my console With my screwed down Xclamp instead of flimsy solder joints. And my nice quiet LG DVD drive, Did i mention my 65nm Chip

mmm Barely gets warm ( as a side note my wii actually felt much hotter then my 360)

I'd still prefer to give me money to a company that doesn't need to release a 'fix' for a $600 console.

Ekiushi · 05-09-2008, 03:36 AM

I'd rather not spend $600 on the console alone. But thats just me.

Oh and good news! I finished that assignment that was due today. I probably did it completely wrong, but who cares? I can't be expected to do a wonderfully insightful analysis on ART when I know nothing about Art.

Deanis · 05-09-2008, 04:13 AM

Grats anyway!

Just finished No More Heroes.

Once I worked out the best way to earn cash (able to earn 75k in <40secs) the game became too easy. I went from 5th rank to first in 2hrs.

Still awesome, atleast just for the story/cutscenes/dialogue. But its damn fun slashing a room full of guys with a lightsabre lol.
