*** Nintendo Wii Fits at OcUK ***

Why does it cost almost as much as the Wii console? If been wanting to get one but not at that price.

 

[Linken]

Nice :O

 

[Wyrdo]

lol?!

edit: To clarify, I laugh at anyone who would pay that much for this.

Supply and demand. Used versions are going for ~£100 on eBay.

Bonkers

 

[Shamikebab]

Humanity is doomed

 

[Begbie]

Thats a bit steep.

Unfortunately our suppliers are charging a premium which we have regrettably had to pass on

Hmm, yeah. There always seems to be a premium on the consoles you sell at the shop. I remember it happening with the Wii too when that came out.

Also, a quick google shows Greek stores selling these for 88euros.

I use mine mostly for keeping a track of what my wieght is doing (lost 1stone 6lbs ) and i might have the odd push up session on it.

I tried it out on the family wii the last time I was home and theres no way in hell I can manage the push ups on the board its just far too narrow to be in any way comfortable

Suppliers charging a premium for a bulk order? That's a new one in business I must admit, normally it's the other way around.

oh god.

For an extra £60 you can get the entire console. Then spend 20p on some rope and tie the box to your back. Then do a 10 mile run a couple of times a week. Result = Fit using a Wii

 

[Begbie]

I can see this thread getting closed soon.

 

[Tefal]

ROfl @ that price

Thats a ridiculous mark up.

 

[Snow-Munki]

wow ! got mine in release for around £60.

Got bored of it so gave it to my parents.

That would only work if it was the PS3

 

[Weebull]

jesus o_O

 

[Metalface Mark]

The scales suck, or my GF's one are broken as I'd lost a stone when I weighed myself!

What are you sitting it on? Carpet or laminate? The scales on mine are within a pound of my home digital scales.

 

[PyroboyUK]

I dont see the big attraction. We would get a delivery of 6 in the morning where i used to work. They would all be gone after 1-2 hours after opening time. People are just going mad for this Wii Fit board. You must be desperate to actually pay £117 for this item...

 

[Skii]

Yep, I fell for the temptation of getting it at RRP. Trust me, save your money. Even the GF is bored of it now, and she thought it was great for about a week.

Exactly the same here, went through hell to get one months ago, she loved it at first, now it sits under the sofa never seeing the light of day. novelty wears off very fast with the Wii.

 

[Banzai_Joe]

Hmmm.......ooh look there's a bandwagon.....lets jump on it and charge a fortune!


Although there will be those mugs who will pay that much.
My mate came back off holiday last week to find his house flooded out after a burst water tank. His wii fit turned into a wii float as it sailed around the flooded living room.
