Default Wii Fit Really Funny Video - Save Money - why not to bother with Wii Fit
After some searching online for the wii fit game I came across this funny video about wii fit - that is a parody of the wii marketing message for the latest game craze..

With snippets such as "spend hours barely moving and doing mundane things" as well as "why let your children go outside to exercise when they can stand in front of the TV and play" it could be an answer for all those who spend frustrating hours searching but cannot find the Nintendo Wii Fit in stock this Christmas.

Hope you enjoy...

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.

It seems the irony of this video is only helping to stoke the fires of Christmas shopping frenzy - I just saw play.com on the high street offering wii fit with other "assorted lame Wii games" for almost £150!!

Looks like I'm one of the only ones who has benefited positively from the Wii Fit, including losing weight, toning up and becoming more stable and balanced?
