Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox Fitness Price Comparison

Im not saying to go out and buy an Xbox One or that this App is going to push millions of units but it is pretty cool and a a very surprising app as well.  Just saw people arguing about price points and wanted to bring a little forth about this discussion.  Also Please leave out the WiiFit Ripoff comments.  WiiFit is awesome for the people wanting it so no need to be defensive.

First year Xbox Fitness will be roughly $560.   This is for the Xbox One, Kinect, and Xbox Live.  Afterwards you get Xbox Fitness for free for one year.  Pricing afterwards is unknown as far as I am aware.

P90X DVD's come out to $140
Insanity Comes out to $145
Jillian Michaels Body Revolution is $100
Tracy Anderson Metamorphisis $60
Heart monitor Ranges from $30 -$200 but we will go mid range and do  $50

The items above are discounted on Amazon coming to a price of $495

Now really most people are only going to use one of these programs so the price wouldn't come out this high if you are only buying one or two programs but a $495 deal is pretty great either way you look at it.

Even though Im not a huge fan of programs like these unless you are strictly trying to lose weight the benifit i see most is that Kinect will be helping you  with your form which is one of the most important things while working out.  It will really be like having a trainer in your room with you while exercising.

well, do sport at house is a lot harder, because you have unlimited food, tv, and other game, and not talking about other ppl living with you.

But i can somewhat agree with you on this, anyway i think every console is not this much priced, and when ppl can buy new phone every years, every true  gamer should buy every console, microsoft, nintendo & sony :)

This isn't aimed at gamers, it's aimed a casuals.

No, omg. But you can't deny that services like this are primarly there for making non gamers buy a system.

Do we have the actual sub cost yet? Having to pay a sub for Live and Xbox Fitness is gonna put a lot of people off when there are competing products for a lot less.

So what? for pity sake. Does that matter?

Heaven forbid a non gamer should buy a gaming system and might actually get into gaming too.... THE HORROR!!


WTF are you all about? I said that a non gamer won't buy a system for 500+ just for fitness. Interpreting things I guess right.

I suppose that is one way of looking at it even though in my opinion it is a very narrow minded way of looking at it.  I believe it is "primarily" for "people" who will use it.

Prob won't know for a long time.  My guess is that they will have an app for each program seperately. Like $5 a month or something.

I never said that people who buy the system for their games won't use it at all. I only said that casuals won't buy it for 500 dollars for fitness only.  Also, something like this wouldn't have been made without Wii Fit's success on casuals. Like it or not.
