We got the wii and wii ski for the girls on X-mas. Its fun but the graphics are cheesy. The interactive part of the wii is a cool concept but to me it seems like a much better fit for kids then adults. For real gaming I much prefer my PS3.

Agree totally. I basically got the Wii because my wife was asking about Wii fit. I was like "huh? Your ASKING me to get ANOTHER CONSOLE VIDEO GAME SYSTEM!!??!!??!!??" A few phone calls and 30 minutes later I was coming home with the system and Wii Fit. I still prefer the gameplay and graphics on my PS3.

The games are more social, though. We're having fun playing them TOGETHER! I can see us breaking out Wii the next time we have company.

All that said, I still plan on buying a vintage Atari 2600 with all the classic games.

Got the Wii, the Fit and We Ski and a bunch of other games.

On the Fit I am overweight (BMI). I am 5'8 and weigh 165lbs my BMI was 126 when I started the Fit on Christmas day.

I do love the We Ski. I do suck at delivering food when I bumped into the lady at the on slope cafe and she asked me to deliver a hamburger and then a soda.

I like how you feel when the chair goes over the sheave train and you get the vibration on the controller. I do like the views!

I have spent about 2 hours playing one night. I felt I got the same amount of a work out as if I was skiing at a small area like Southington or Otis Ridge. I really do not like the We Ski in the night skiing mode.

Have you tried the ski school part of the game? That helps. There are instructions, too, though it's a lot to remember at first.

We just got the balance board but I haven't yet had a chance to try it with We Ski.

I've played it on Wii fit and sucked royally. Good thing I don't ski as bad in real life as on a video game.

I'm only good at Bowling and Tennis as far as Wii goes.
