Anyone getting Wii Fit this week?

I got it preordered with Amazon as well. I'm too cheap to pay extra for shipping so who knows when Amazon will actually ship mine. I bought it for the wife. She could use it.
 
Yeah same here, Amazon prime FTW

looks like the ebay price is ~140 shipped, not enough profit in it to make it worthwhile to horde these. Hopefully itll be fun.

Yeah, I'm too cheap to pay for Prime. If I had Prime I would order too many stuff. So I'm saving money both ways.

By the time you get an Amazon Preorder, the craze is over. :laugh:
 
I'm disappointed, even the wii site says released May 19th but all the ads say May 21st. Wal-mart also had a sign up that apologized for those with preorders that were expecting to get it on the 19th that they would not have it until the 21st. There's some apologists out there stating that "well the 19th is a ship date blah blah blah" but i've NEVER seen a "release" date not mean the day the product was on the shelves
 
When I looked at the wiisite a few weeks ago it said to check back on the 21st.

For movies and CDs that's true, but I've seen people complain about the "release" date being the ship date for many games in the past. Not that you'll ever find those threads with search 🙂

I don't have a wii, but the balance & stretching exercises seem like an interesting addition to just riding my lifecycle.

Im too cheap too. I just piggybacked off someone elses account for $10 🙂

 
second, you aren't allowed to sell items on ebay which haven't officially launched, right? It's against policy to list items which one does not have in stock.

I say we report those sellers selling dozens of wiifits who don't even have (and may not have) a single one in their possession.

Apparently... not sure yet though, because the game hasn't some out. Stores suspended pre-orders because there were 'too many'.

In response to the OP, I'll probably -eventually- get it... I'm just not in a -run out and buy it- mode.
 
I might pick it up when I get back from vacation next week assuming I can find one. It didn't interest me enough where I wanted to pre order it
 
I so want one!

Imagine if one of us loses so much weight using Wii Fit (like that Jared Fogel guy in those Subway commercials) and Nintendo decides to use us in one of their ads. We'd be set for life!

Combine Wii Fit with eating Subway 3 meals a day, and you'll be set for TWO lifes!
 
hahaha. I checked ebay and there is pretty much only 3 or 4 sellers selling it. I seriously hope they get screwed out of finding them when they come out and they all get suspended.

I'm all for reselling things for profit BUT ONLY for things I have on hand. Not phony preorders which may or may not get fulfilled. Right now there are 200 for sale. When it actually comes out, there will be 2000 for sale and I don't see it going for much over retail especially after shipping and fees since free shipping is what's 'in' for consoles/games these days if anyone else noticed.

I called the local Gamestop today, they said Wednesday is the day to pick them up but there would be none available to the general public, only pre-orders. 🙁
 
Being in the UK, Ive had my Wii Fit for 3 weeks now and it is fun, I have never regretted dumping £70 (approx $140)... well £63 (approx $126) for using the evil plastic (credit card).

The Yoga and Muscle Workouts were a challenge for me. I used to play football (round ball variety) for between 6 to 10 hours per week up until age 18 when I was hit with some knee problems. Generally speaking, Id class myself as unfit, tall and slim built. The Yoga will definately take time to master.

Balance Games are really fun. The first few times I tried, I really really sucked but once you learn how the Balance Board responds to your movements and the game plays out, they become a fun challenge. Trying to beat your score becomes obligatory and you will find yourself replaying and replaying just to get that little bit further or little bit better.

Aerobics... Hula and Super Hula are crazy. Id recommend doing this alone as if you dont look like a total idiot.... you probably arent doing it right. The Jogging is really good, gently breaking you in with 3 minute sessions until you unlock the 6 minute, the 10 minute island lap and then whats known as the Free Jogging where you can do 10, 20 or 30 minute sessions. The Step-up's are currently what I'm addicted to and its awkward for me. I seem like an uncoordinated clutz every time the pattern changes, this is however improving. The Rhythmic Boxing is possibly the most fun out of the lot despite it being awkward (for me) to memorise the short patterns.

Simply my 2 pennies or 4 cents worth...
 
Nice mini review Elcs. I'm looking forward to playing w/ it this weekend if amazon ships it out on wed and delivers it by fri.
 
Yup.

It's Victoria Day here in Canada. So I was hoping some smaller mom and pop game stores will release early. Unfortunately nope. The Toys R Us and EBs only have enough stock for preorders. Will have to pick it up on Wednesday. Luckily there are a few Future Shops, Best Buys, Walmarts in the area. And if that doesn't turn up any stock, can still depend on Shoppers Drug Mart and Loblaws.
 
The wal-mart in my town had a paper up saying pre-orders would be in on the 21st, so I called the wal-mart 1 town over and they said you could only pre-order at walmart.com, to which I replied "I can't preorder in person?" and they said they "don't got nothing to pre-order with"

So, maybe early Wednesday I can pick it up there.
