    Why can't you see the good in this? Have fun, whilst being active. It's a win/win.

    Agreed. Who wants to use a boring old treadmill?

    Whilst the Wii probably doesnt do as much good for you as 'proper' exercise, a gaming system that exercises a bit more of your body than your thumbs cant be a bad thing.

    136.363636.. kg, so probably no 'interesting' two player games involving a single balance board. Shame.

    How about 'Twister' to the rhythm of a suitable backing track?
