    \thanks everyone for your replies... what I am lost about the wii fit bundle play.com dont have motion sensor and amazon does do I need a motion sensor?


    Hello I think the motion sensor is for some of the new games that have come out like Wii Sports resorts so you will need one for each remote if you want those particular games. If you dont then you wont need them but may buy them later on if you want the games. I think the motion sensor is like a skin / case that goes over your existing controller so can easily be brought and added on later. Between the 2 bundles on Amazon and Play.com its whether you want the Wii balance board or the Motion senor game... Its down to personal choice really.

    I havent got one for our wii but prob will get them if more games come out that require it but at the moment we havent seen any games we def want to get for now that require it.

  • Can i ask for those of you who use tart burners what tea lights do you use? I have brought some from the 99p store but they dont seem to melt the tart in the burner probably and dont last very long either.

    I love my yankee candles so really want some better tealights. Any recommendations?

    sorry to ask again... I am totally confused about the wii...
    amazon sells Nintendo Wii Console (Includes Wii Sports) + Wii Fit Bundle - UK PAL Version for 269.99

    and play.com sells Nintendo Wii Console including Wii Sports + Wii Fit (includes Wii Balance Board) for 219.00 and the game my ds want is the wii fit

    am I missing something here about amazon being cheaper? or is the two bundles completely different?

    Nope no difference! Both the same only thing i can see may be different is the amazon are showing a nunchuck (the other remote bit that goes into the main remote mostly for playing boxing on the wii sports) but they can be brought quite cheaply so you are def better off with the Play.com package (remember Topcashback for the cashback!):beer:

    Also remember you only get 1 remote with these so if you want to play some of the games directly against eachother then you will need 1 more remote. The cheapest way of buying those is buying the wii play as you get the game and remote for same price as buying remote on its own.
    Also if you do want further remotes (we have 4 ) again buy the wii play and sell the game on EBay for £10 approx so you get £10 back off the cost of future remotes. Thats what i did anyway.

    Also i can highly recommend Mario Kart for all ages. We love playing as a family against eachother and we all love it from my 6 yr old upto myself and my husband. If you do go for that game you will need the game plus a wheel for every remote you have. Also charger dock 1st piority.
