Well, what are you to do? We've got a few ideas, some silly and some not-so. Some of the solutions are viable financial alternatives, providing you a similar experience for similar cost. Other ideas are a bit more ... off. You know how we like to do it!

So, without further ado, head on in (via the graphic on the bottom-right) and see some of the alternatives to Wii Fit available.

More reason not to spend lotsa money on Wii Fit, since there's a popular arcade in my town which has Propcycle.

Holy crap, there are arcades? I thought it was just a myth!

But, seriously, that's impressive. Can we spend the night at your house to try it out? You won't have to feed us, and we can sleep in the back of your Honda Civic hatchback!

I almost feel like I have to go to Wii-confession...I bought 3 Wii Fits this week... one to my mother-in-law and the other 2 to ebay.

They are pulling such a handsome fee I could not resist. I am setting that money aside so I can afford GH:WT when it comes out...no seriously!

Hey, you guys forgot that NES running pad thingy that you could use with the track and field game. I used to have one of those. I even remember getting unbeatable scores on the long jump by cheating. (I'd just step off the mat for a while)

Also, the Masculator, at $49.95, is *more* than half of the price of wii fit ($90), not "almost half".

Actually, that's what the Family Fitness Trainer would eventually become, so I guess we kind of included it?

*shrug*

oh, my bad.

No worries! Thanks for keeping us on top of our game. :)

I saw a bunch of Wii Fits that first day at GameStop, but haven't seen any since. I'm not interested in buying one at this time. On the other note, I did see a Wii at Target.

Dan Davis @ Jun 6th 2008 6:30PM

On was on Target's website last Saturday, trying to buy their Wii Fit bundle. I was hitting F5 every 3 seconds... but it eventually paid off!

Now if UPS could only get it off the train (train? WTF?) in Seattle, I'll be happy.

I love you, Wii Fanboy.

One should only use the Roll 'n Rocker when drinking Rolling Rock.
