Are any of you planning on lining up like 10 hours early next week on Black Friday for a Nintendo Wii / Wii Fit ???
If an employee said there was like only a few dozen Wii's available
( say 20 or so ), would people really fight for it, bribe, or even threaten other people for their place in line if they are really very desperate?
I know Amazon has it in stock right now. But why would people choose a risky move to wait until black friday instead of buying it @ Amazon ???
I see they have a bundle at Sam's club this year with 2 games and extra controllers for $225. People will line up because of the extras at a cheaper price. Usually they give vouchers to the first people in line, so no one should fight over it, but I have had people offer me money for my vouchers.

Jillian Michael’s Fitness Ultimatum 2009 is the first game of its type to combine a celebrity fitness trainer with the Wii and innovative Wii Balance Board accessory to offer you a fun and entertaining way to get fit...
I felt so good today. I woke up early, opened up my email and came across someone in the fitness industry that has the same amount of concern, uneasiness and utter disgust with the video gaming industry as I do. It just goes to show that great minds really do think alike!
We both feel, as do many people in the fitness industry, that people are being totally manipulated to believe that substituting a video for the act of honestly and truly exercising is just as good. Let me make it really simple; using video games as a form of exercise is just incredibly stupid!
This isn’t something that I just came up with to fill a post. In the past, I have had clients use this as a form of exercise, (without my blessings) and they actually got injured. It didn’t help them lose weight. It didn’t help them improve their posture. And it didn’t help them get any stronger. You can read what I wrote back in May of last year by going to this link; (http://fitoverfourty.wordpress.com/2008/05/14/the-risks-of-being-a-video-game-junkie/)
 So today I came across a great video that best describes how I feel about people using video games as a form of exercise.  Please watch and learn.
Nothing beats picking a pair of dumbbells, breaking a sweat on a treadmill and working hard to meet your goals.
Desire is the starting point for all achievements…but cheating when trying to get there will make you look like crap!
