  We’re still digesting our Thanksgiving dinner.  Lists for Santa are being crafted by children all over the world.  It’s hard for young and old alike to prioritize their lists but what is at the top?  Most likely a Wii bundle.

The Wii Fit is one of the hottest simulation games on the market these days.  It shares real-life situations with a dash of simulation. 

It can be difficult to find a Wii Fit in Stock.  If you would like to buy one it just not as easy as going to the local big box store and picking one up.  It can be even more difficult to buy one online.  But don’t stress over it.  I’ll share my secret place for getting one nearly anytime you want it and for a fraction of the price you might expect to pay.

It’s easy to find many different write ups on the game itself.  The Body Test is sure to make you feel a bit insecure but the training program can help you turn that around.

You can take part in aerobics, strength training, balance games and yoga using the training modes.  The idea is to use your character, which sort of takes your shape, to work your way through the workouts.  You can do various strength training routines to improve your overall body tone and the fit pad will measure your success. 

You can get a good idea of your body composition using the BMI feature.  Your character in the game won’t let you forget about your BMI but also acts as a sort of trainer.  But Wii fit enthusiasts will tell you that while it can be annoying at first the game can lead you to a healthier life.  Being able to track your progress is a motivating factor and can be a big help in your overall performance.

The virtual caricatures, which are unique to the Wii, represent you as you use the fit board to go through the game.  The caricature will change shape as you do.  It reminds me a little of the SIMS game but this one is much more realistic, even if less game-like, and really draws you in.

As I mentioned before it can be difficult to find a Wii Fit available online.  The little-known secret about where to find one is auctions4acause.com.  Not only can you find one there but you can get it cheap too.

Far be it from Microsoft to miss out on one of the top revenue producing products of this decade. They’ve come to market with the XBox 360. If you’re looking to spend the least amount of money when buying one then you should look at the XBox 360 Arcade version as it’s current price is just $199. Tis is really the family-oriented version as the arcade games are suitable for all ages. It comes standard with 256MB of memory and a single wireless controller. This is the base model and allows you to get in cheap and then add accessories as you can afford them.

The next step up is the XBox 360 Console. It has a 60GB hard drive with a wireless controller and a few other accessories. Though this model doesn’t come with any games it plays them all including the original XBox games.

If you’re willing ot spare no expense then have a look at the XBox 360 Elite. Thanks to a massive 120GB hard drive you can store all your games plus bunches of other things. They make it with a sleek black designer finish so it looks really sharp. Other included options are a black wireless controller, a black wireless headset and an HD output.

The pricing on the Xbox 360 can be somewhat expensive if you buy them from a retailer. You’re looking at $200 for the Arcade version, $300 for the Console and $400 for the Elite. Can you imagine explaining to your family that you can afford an XBox but not gas to fill up the car? So the question is, how can you get an Xbox 360 for sale cheap? Don’t think you can only buy them at big box store and on Ebay. Go to www.auctions4acause.com and you’ll find them auctioned off all the time for as low as $9.94. This site has really been a gold nugget for me as it’s saved me a bunch of cash. Take a look today, I guarantee it will be worth your time.
