BestBuy.com has the Wii Fit with Wii Balance Board for $90 + $10 shipping = $100. Regular price, but this thing has been hard to find lately. You can blame Nintendo for their little inventory scheme that has dragged on to year 3 with the Wii. [BizRate]

    Wii Fit and We Ski are some of the few Balance Board games available so far. There are a lot more slated to come out soon. Some of them are fitness related but there are a few skate boarding, snowboarding, and other types too.

    Bought this when it first came out and haven't used it since. Not worth $90.

    #20. I think they were around $90 from the beginning (I seem to recall $8Cool. The cost for this deal is still $90 - but you have to pay shipping.

    No, this isn't a "deal", but, as #5 has pointed out, Ben explicitly stated that it was "regular price". Ben's point was that these have been hard to find, so he's indicating that bb has them (save you looking around - assuming they haven't now sold out).

    The reason I bought the Wii was for the Fit Mat. This thing is great. The some of the workouts are a nice alternative to the grind.

    If you want to avoid the shipping fee, you might take a look at your local Toys R Us, where the Wii Fit is regularly available. Also, check at Costco, as they often have Wii consoles and components - at least for short periods of time. A Costco employee told me you're most likely to find them in stock on the weekends and in the early days of the week.

    The Wii Fit is the balance board+software. My local CostCo had 50+ units in stock 2 days ago. I don't think the price will drop below retail for the foreseeable future, unless combined with a console and software in a package.

    #20: Yes, they were originally and still are priced at $90. This includes $10 for shipping.

    yes I think they were $90, but I would imagine there is tax so it would be around $100.

    I've heard mixed reviews for this. I only played it a twice and I like it.

    Walking to your local BB and back for local pickup will get you warmed up to use the Wii board.

    The deal here is just being able to actually buy the damn thing.

    I would think it will be harder to find one toward holiday season.

    The balance board was a lot of fun. Definitely recommended to bring to a party to watch people lose their balance and get told their much older, Wii Fit ages!

    I thought they were $90, too. I bought one on an earlier posting for $89, hope it came with the board.
