Wii Fit - Video Games Forum

Am I the only one who thinks it's absolutely ridiculous that it is next to impossible to find a Wii Fit in the stores? I've been looking for one for months. They're sold out everywhere except eBay. I refuse to purchase it from eBay.

I absolutely love the workout I get from Wii Sports. Wii Fit would take that workout to another level. It's just so frustrating not being able to find one to purchase. I'm sure there will be a few available as the holiday season rolls around, but who wants to fight those Black Friday crowds?

I was able to find one, but I called my local retailer every day at 11:00AM (they get their shipments between 10:00 and 11:00) until a shipment came in. By the time the afternoon rolled around, they were sold out again (but I got mine).

Talk to the people at your local game store and find out when they get their shipments and then call, call, call. They probably won't hold them for you, so you'll have to be ready to go in every day, or have someone that can do it for you if you are busy.

Good Luck,

So is this really a workout? I have heard a lot about it, but never really looked into it. When I think of the Wii Fit I think of that silly Power Pad Nintendo made so many years ago and how usual it was.

If you really want a Wii Fit you'll have to be really determined and persistent in calling stores and finding out if they received a shipment. Once you find out, get to the store as quickly as possible and buy it. That's what I had to do for my Wii. Haven't decided to get the Wii Fit, yet.

Thanks for the tips!! I'll have to start making calls to find out when the shipments come in!

I don't think the Wii Fit is intended to give you an really intense workout, but I like it because it keeps track of everything. It's hard to get motivated to workout. Before I got a Wii, I had to force myself to get up and workout. Playing Wii for a few minutes is nothing to me. It's a nice way to help fight the bulge.
