i personally am on the Lindsey Lohan diet to lose weight......... cocaine, alcohol, and reckless driving ;)

i don't think N ever made these claims, media makes this kind of shit up.

and just b/c it's used in hospitals doesn't mean anything, they also used to blood let, so their you go.

"Their" you go, maybe. I personally don't want to enter a place where the people somehow see a logical connection between Brain Age and pre-20th century medical practices.

I bought a DS and Brain Age earlier tonight :) I'll give it to my mom over the weekend. I was surprised to see that both Wal-Mart and Zellers (a Canadian chain similar to Wal-Mart) both had Wiis in stock when I was doing some comparison shopping at those stores. Although Wal-Mart only had 1 which I'm sure will likely be gone by tomorrow, Zellers on the otherhand had at least 4 (possibly more since their display cases were overcrowded and it looked like that's as much space as they could allow for Wii boxes. I just wish taxes weren't so high here or I'd buy them all and sell them on Ebay :(

Then you may want to pack a bag and jump on the next space shuttle.  The connection is there.  Exercising your brain to reduce what amounts to brain atrophy is analogous to jogging every morning to keep from getting lazy or overweight.  It's not a cure-all, but it certainly helps.

I think Wii Fit is much more likely to help people who don't normally exercise to be active because it's much more of a game.

Wii Fit seems to be more something for people who already exercise or do yoga or whatever and most of the stuff on it are not games.

I don't think Wii Fit is much of an innovation, on the other hand Wii Sports is a totally new and unique thing. Wii Fit is just another exercise accessory.



Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!

It'll definately sell a lot though, it seems like every piece of exercise equipment that becomes popular sells extremely well.

I dont really see how it can make you fit. If you barely move.

A lot of the excerises are valid such as Push Ups, but yeah I don't see this helping a whole lot (this is comming from someone who does an hour of cardio a day).
