I'll quickly just find the easiest way to complete everything to get the highest score. The gamer in me will fight physical activity tooth and nail, and now you expect to challenge that cunning yet lazy part of me on his own terms? You're in his house now. Remember the power pad?

I was totally looking forward to this as a fun way to supplement other exercise (especially on rainy days). But $90?? Now I'm thinking I'll wait till they release an SSX game that uses the balance board and wiimote/nunchuk to snowboard.

The only reason that I might get this is that it might motivate me to exercise more. But at $90 I am hesitant. I wonder if you will be able to rent it at Blockbuster or someother place.

I see people complaining about price, yet people are willing to shell out more than this for Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Whats the difference? They are all fancy controllers at heart, why does it matter whether you play an instrument or balance off a white electronic mat?

I'm going to gladly buy this, and I expected the pricetag to be higher. This isn't a rumblepack we're talking here.
