Well, mine has been waiting all day. I bought it for my wife, so she's the one that's going to open it and play with it for the first time. With the kids of course.

Does anyone else think there is going to be a glut of these on the second-hand market in a few months when people realize they simply don't like exercising, even when it's fun?

I forgot about how heavy this thing is... that'll bring the ebay prices even higher.

I found a Target on my way home from work that had 3 of them left. I picked one up, but I'm waiting to see if my wife is interested. I may take it back or sell it to someone.
I guess I'm still kind of skeptical.

I just got back from Target.. I got one.. They had at least 10 left which was VERY surprising.. I'm not gonna open it just yet. I'm not 100% I'm keeping it yet but wanted to get it while it was available. $90 is a lot of scratch if I'm not going to use it a lot..
Basically, if it's like every other workout thing I've bought I'm afraid it will just get old and waste my $90.. I'll wait a week if I can hold out and see what everyone thinks after using it for that long..

Keep in mind this isn't just an exercise gimmick -- there are almost a dozen games in development that will use the balance board, including a skateboarding game, a boxing game, and the next Raving Rabbids game.

Now we can stop wondering why you still can't find Wii's in stock.

As a big Top Secret! fan, I am hoping for a Skeet Surfing game.

I don't know any store that will allow returns on open video games.. What would stop people from buying, playing till done, and returning?
I know they will do even exchange if there is a problem with the game but I don't think any stores refund money.

Hey...my little Mii guy is all fat! And a game is yelling at me...for being fat! Now I'm depressed. Time for ice cream to make myself feel better.
In all seriousness, are we doing a Biggest Loser DVDTalk edition based on Wii Fit? Because I'm in.
