I may get this if reviews are stellar. I'm always suckered into these idiotic peripheral games and I always stop playing them after about two months:
NES Power Pad
Eye of Judgment
Wii
etc.
Rock Band is the only exception, but that too I am not playing as much. With the exception of EOJ, I always feel like I get my money's worth.

It seems silly but this may actually make me finally buy a Wii.

It's a scale with a Wiimote inside it that comes with a $10 piece of software.

I agree it should be $70 instead of $90, but I think GH should be $70 instead of $90 as well. I'm still buying it though

yeah pixy i may have been wrong about the main listing. the theory over at CAG is that the 79.99 price change is because some people show a later shipping date now (check your account)

I just placed an order for it at Amazon in case the price actually drops to $80 for all orders. If not, I can always cancel it later. For now, it's still showing $90 for me.
