I want a Wii Fit!

Kegsey, 19 May, 2008 at 13:07 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 21

We only got a Wii a month ago after them selling out at Christmas (I know they've been in stock for a while now but it took that long to get around to it). I didn't think about a wii fit early enough to pre-order. Saw friends at the weekend how have one and it looks fab. I know there is a site to check stocks but I'm too lazy. How long do you think, before its freely available?

    Http://www.wii-consoles.co.uk/wii-fit-in-stock.asp This site is good- you can ask for email update alerts too.

    I must say though, my fitness has suffered since we got ours, because I'm binning my proper exercise to go home and faff around heading footballs and doing ski jumps. ?

    I'm trying to ask my OH for you but he's not answering his phone.

    Sorry, just realised that I probably should have said that he's a district manager for GAME, so should know.

    Lou - my fitness has to go up, there isn't anywhere else for it to go. Even standing in front of the TV rather than sitting would be an improvement!

    PP that would be fab (and knowing his job does make a big difference

    They are fantastic specially for people like me who did zero exercise,

    i have lost half a stone since we got ours 3 weeks ago, i feel like i am also watching what i eat more as i dont want the scales to say i have put on weight

    we got ours from argos we were checking every hour just incase, and we dropped on i think, someone had reserved it and they didnt fetch so at 4.10 on the bank holiday monday 1 was showing in stock, and that is how we got ours,

    If supplies of Wii stuff here is anythign to go by nothing to do with them is ever 'freely' available. They seem to deliberately keep everything in short supply.

    We have ours on order from Amazon and have a current delivery estimate of May 23rd. lobster - just got back from NYC and I'll do a full report of Daniel soon. It was excellent! Something strange is going on with my formatting, but there should be returns between my sentences?!

    How did you manage that? I get that I can only reserve for store pickup and that my local stores are out of stock.

    I must have tried at the right time, I suppose!

    It's fun, so far.

    I got mine last week - ordered it from amazon on Monday and got it on Tuesday (paid £2 for p&p for next day and they sent it express... bonus!)

    I was pretty much a couch potato but now I ensure I do at least half an hour when I get home from work... although I do have to fight with the kids to get on it! Love it to pieces at the mo!

    Aren't they way more expensive on Amazon though?

    Those will be the ones from amazon marketplace.

    I went on this site: http://www.wiipreorder.co.uk/Wii-Fit-Stock-Alerts.aspx and went on the desktop link. It updates it every minute.

    On Monday morning by the time I logged into amazon after getting the notification they had gone but fortunately an hour or so later, they got more stock in.

    Good luck x
