Elaine, since you want to lose weight, I would consider purchasing the Wii Fit or “My Fitness Coach.” My Fitness Coach is a game and it just uses the Wii Console, not the Wii Fit. I have both and enjoy both of them, but since you don’t have the Wii Fit, you might want to consider just getting the game for now since it will be much cheaper. Good luck on the weight loss!

To really break a sweat and lose some weight, you’ll need a Wii Fit (which comes with a games and balance board) an additional 84.99 on top of the 250 for the wii. It works your balance, has aerobic training, strength training, and yoga training as well. It is SO much fun and well worth the money. It also has a ton of weight loss tips and goal setting plans.

Get one.

Animal Crossing is a relaxing life simulator type game. You arrive in a cute town and buy a little house and do little jobs around the town to earn money. It’s all presented in nice cartoon graphics and most of the characters are animals. The WiiSpeak microphone lets you chat to other people as you play online, they have to be other Wii owners on your friends list (like a contact list in your email program).

I googled “should i get a wii for Christmas 2008″ and hit here. I think it was helpful, but I am 52 and want to lose weight. I don’t know much at all about the Wii except they have the activity which can help with that and get people off their butts.

I would have like to see a table or something that listed items with corresponding prices (possibly with the description in one column. In the first row could have been the first thing you “have” to buy followed by extras–games then hardware.

I asked my husband for a Wii for Christmas, but have no idea what the extras would take us up to. I think he would play with me and I know our 27 year old son and 24 year old daughter would play when they visit, which they will over the holidays.

Also, I didn’t quite get the idea of what Animal Crossing or Wii speak was.

Thank you.
