Great Bundle, January 28, 2010

Got the Wii Fit+ and Balance Board as a bundle deal for Christmas, to go with a Wii Console I bought, and have been using it now for over a month. Both work great.

First the Wii Fit Plus: Great "Game" that allows you to focus on Yoga and Strength workouts, as well as fun games like Ski Jumping, Balance games, etc. My Son does not like how the game complements mom and dad on doing a good job of working out, when he does not feel we really did all that well, but....

Great product, great price and free upgrade to newer version, May 2, 2008

What I did not know but really liked was as soon as I bought it, the next version (7.0) was introduced and I could upgrade to that version for free. This was not just a virus data file update, but a full upgrade to version 7.0, just as if I bought that version.

Pros: Product works great and keep viruses from invading

Cons: It has a proactive mode, that questions when registry changes and other changes to files are about to be made. Presumably a virus might try to do this, but there are a lot of times when these changes are legitimate - like when you upgrade s/w, install a plug-in, etc… Read more
