I've never owned a 'console' before. The last game I played (besides spider solitaire) was Doom, and the last machine I had for playing computer games was the Commodore 64! I simply bought the Wii for the exercise aspect, although House of the Dead (my only non exercise game for it) does bring back memories from Uni days! But it's definitely more interesting and interactive than going to the gym and watching BBC2 on one of the TVs! Even the jogging is more interesting. Anything that gets me on my feet and exerting energy has to be good :) Sam, I'm the same. I've never owned a 'console' before.

You assume that if something is up for pre-order then it's *available* to pre-order...and that order should be fulfilled. Glad you managed to get it elsewhere anyway. I haven't really been too much into gaming, but must admit the Wii looks like fun. I like the physical aspect of it - and getting fit at the same time as playing a game has got to be a bonus :D My Twitter friends have all been buying Mario Kart for the Wii and playing against eachother. I feel quite left out, haha! That's a very poor show by Play.com. You assume that if something is up for pre-order then it's *available* to pre-order…and that order should be fulfilled.

It's quite a challenge with the balance sometimes, but certainly funny watching someone else use it! The weighing part of it is pretty accurate as I've checked on my own scales, and of course the BMI is just a calculation once you've told it your height. Certainly worth a go :) It's definitely worth it, considering 2 games can cost more than the price of the package, and there are 9 aerobic exercises, 9 balance games and then yoga and muscle toning exercises.
