The wii comes with instructions on how to set it up. Its really easy. just follow the booklet.

The balance board has 2 scales. one on each side of the unit. its wireless, and requires batteries to work. it weighs how much of your body weight goes to each side, front, back or center. there are many great exercises. You DONT have to know how much you weigh unless you want to. you can also password protect it so only you can see your results if you want.

have fun!

Does the balance thing come with the WII or is it sold separately. I keep hearing about the WII fitness or something like that.

And I can't imagine it not telling you what you weigh, if you set it up. It must flash on the screen or something to that effect.

I WON'T BE DOING THIS, I guarantee you

lol lol

P.S. I just went on the internet and found the instructions for setting it up. The first part is easy. It says Take the RCA things and plug into the colored things. I CAN DO THIS. No problem.

What confuses me is the next instruction.
If you use a cable or a vcr, use the inputs on these.

I have BOTH a cable box and a vcr. Do I HAVE TO hook up the WII via these things?. Can't I just keep things the way they are and simply plug the power part of the WII into my electical outlet, and take the red white and yellow things and plug them into the front of my tv?

Can't I just do this? Or does the fact that I use a cable box and vcr, well does this fact mandate that I set up through these things?

HOW DO I SAY "I LOVE YOU".


In French, Je T'aime

because I DO!!!! lol lol lol

I watched the video.

And the best part was......................

I UNDERSTOOD 99% OF IT.

Here's the one thing I don't get.

He said you have to give your WII console a NAME because you need the console to have a name when you go on the internet.

Why am I going on the internet with the WII??????

lol

For those that do online games, like the shoot em up & stuff.
I don't know what the online " in" games are, but I suppose there are lots of them.

Let me get this straight. The WII let's you go online? Is this correct?

Thanks, Melody

yes, the Wii has an ONLINE feature. You can surf the net, or check your email, or go wander around. They also have a private store that you can download games directly to your Wii. you can store them on the internal memory, or you can buy a separate memory card to store them on. SD cards are pretty cheap now. If you get a USB or wireless keyboard and mouse, you can surf kinda like your normal computer.

you are gonna love it!
