*** You cant buy a wii fit for love not money these days and its only going to get harder as we approach Christmas***.

Visit Game to view their selection of Nintendo Wii Fit Bundles

Cheap.Wii.Fit.jpg Wii Fit, the exercise game that has sold over 1.4 million copies since its launch in Japan last December, is finally coming to these shores. Nintendo have announced that you will be able to tone your abs while you play from the 25th of April, but it will set you back around £70 for the privilege.

There are four categories of workout: Aerobic, Muscle Workouts, Yoga, and Balance Games with more than 40 routines available. Up to 8 people can track their progress and monitor performance via a new Wii Fit Channel on the Wii welcome screen. Now the reason for this post is simply to alert you to the fact that these are going to sell like hot cakes! Chances are if you don’t pre-order one for the release date they may well be difficult to get hold of.

UPDATE: OK Since Wii fit is now released, but still rarer than rocking horse business, you can compare prices of wii fit here

Key features:

# Learn to block soccer balls, swivel hips to power hoop twirls or balance to hold the perfect yoga pose - as users stand on the Wii Balance Board, included with Wii Fitness, their body’s overall balance is tied to the game in a way they’ve never experienced before.

# Wii Fitness also uses the Wii Balance Board for daily tests - these evaluate two key measures that a household can track via progress charts:
- Body Mass Index (BMI): A weight evaluation based on a ratio of„« weight to height.
- Wii Fitness Age: The Wii Fitness Age is measured by factoring the user’s BMI reading, testing the user’s centre of gravity and conducting quick balance tests.

# Wii Fitness includes more than 40 types of training activities designed to appeal to all members of a household - training falls into four fitness categories:
- Aerobic Exercise: 10-minute exercises that are designed to get the heart pumping
- Muscle Conditioning: Controlled motions using arms, legs and other body parts.
- Yoga Poses: Classic poses that focus on balance and stretching.
- Balance Games: Fun activities, such as ski jumping and heading soccer balls, that challenge the player’s overall body balance.

Cheap DVDs.Stardust.jpg Following on slightly from my previous post about adding 101 Dalmatians to my own pricewatch list, I received an email from the site this afternoon alerting me to the fact that Stardust is now only £9.00 at Tesco and Asda. I havent seen this one myself, but I heard the advert for it on the radio earlier, and they were quoting some decent reviews, so perhaps an Ideal gift for Mothers day - If you order it quickly.

Cheap DVD.101 Dalmatians.jpgReleased from Disney’s Vault of Cash for the first time since the last time they released it in 2000, comes the Classic Animated tale 101 Dalmations. Due for release on 3rd of March, but currently not very attractively priced - the best I can find for this 2 Disc Platinum edition at time of writing is £13.93 at the Hut. However there’s still time for this to change, so what I’m going to do is add this title to my pricewatch list with a target price of say £10 if it drops below that then I’ll receive an email letting me know and I’ll update this post accordingly. If you’d like to use pricewatch your self then all you need to do is register for an account or if you’re already registered login here and start adding titles to your pricewatch list

Cheap DVD.Jekyll Series 1.jpg A great price here for last years TV adaptation of the Jekyll & Hyde Legend starring James Nesbitt and penned by the brilliant Stephen Moffat, who brings much more than just an modern day retelling of the original story. Here we find a bewildered Jackman (Nesbitt) wrestling with the eponymous inner Demon that is Hyde (Nesbitt), each aware of the others existence and communicating via recorded messages, with Jackman determined not to let Hyde find out about his family. Throw into the mix a mysterious organisation who seem to know far too much about whats going on and you have all the ingredients for a rivetting thriller.
Buy Jekyll Series 1 for only £6.99 from Moviemail now.

Cheap DVDs.Shoot Em Up.jpg Now then how about this for a DVD to lay the ghost of Valentines Day to rest for another year. If you and your good lady actually got to watch this together on what is the ‘Most Romantic Day of the Year’ then I take my hat off to you. A lot of people I know had to sit through Atonement (which is quite Ironic if you actually think about it), personally I managed to fall between 2 stools and talked my other half into watching Ratatouille instead, and very enjoyable it was too. However, if you can pull it off then I recommend Shoot Em Up - simply because you cant take your eyes off the screen for the full 83 minutes of over the top jaw dropping action sequences, joined together with other action sequences and a feeble plot about 2 strangers waging war over a newborn child. Very noble.

Anyway, this is a movie that is easily worth £8.95 of your money - which is good, because thats how much DVD.co.uk are charging.

So go on buy it, you know you want to.
