I am an avid non-video game player. I've owned every system from the first Nintendo to the latest X-box and have tired of them all within a couple of months. I admit when it comes to video games I have an attention span of a fruit fly. I'm so bad that when I told my husband I wanted a Wii he said, "Why? You'll play it twice and never touch it again." But I can honestly say it's different with the Wii. I love how interactive it is. It's a totally different experience than ALL THE OTHER gaming systems out there. Wii makes you use your whole body, not just your thumbs and wrists. Wii Sports comes with games that I hate to play in reality (tennis, golf, bowling...every game on the disk). But I LOVE playing these sports on the game. The boxing game is a work out on it's own. I have to play golf afterward just to calm down. It's awesome!
The price was no better than I could get from anywhere else. However, shipping was lower than everywhere else (if not free) and the shipping expediency at that price was much faster than other sites. Have ordered from Overstock before and will again.
First let me state that I am 70+ years old ... I got this not just for "fun" but for some indoor exercise as well. I was daunted by the installation when it arrived and let it sit for a couple of days then decided to just "Do It" ... you see I have no children, grandchildren or young friends (or old for that matter) that I can call upon to help me set things like this up, or show me how they work. Well let me tell you, if you are like me in anyway PLEASE don't be fearful as I set the whole system up by myself and just finished playing my first game (Bowling (132)) ... color me thrilled. My next project is to create a Wii Mii and then on to golf, etc. On screen instructions are a very big help but also the manuals (there are 2) are very easy to understand as are the illustrations.If you have a group of friends you can start bowling leagues (even by yourselves bowling shirts and give your team a name) ... golf leagues, well you get the idea. The Nintento Wii is fine if your a single as well as for families, friends, neighbors!If you are thinking about one of these then I recommend you go right ahead and get yourself one ... it is NOT a waste of money & it is a wonderful way to get the body moving. Get Moving!
Received shipment promptly. New in box. Just what we ordered. Checked system out and it functions great. Would order from Overstock again.
My only regret is waiting so long to get one! This is so much more fun to play than PS2, etc. We even got our neighbors in their 80s to play the bowling & a lot of other games - this system truly is accessible to all ages!
This game system is truly enjoyable. It was very easy to set up and play immediately. Also a good workout. My whole family enjoyed playing the sports games. I did purchase another controller so that two of us could play together otherwise you would have to hand the controller back and forth between players. I am not a big video game fan but I enjoy this one. I was also pleased with how quickly I received the item after ordering it.
Fun for all ages!! Great for family time & to get fit. A great investment
Ordered this for my great grand daughter she plays that thing all the time she love it.

Of all the game systems I think this is the best. I use the dancing and exercise routines. I have lost almost 30lbs. The time flies by as you work off the calories.

Disappointed, thought it had a game in it. But, the set up was very good. Have been buying games for it since.
When I got this it was the best price on the internet. The whole family enjoys it and we're not gamers.
I purchased my Wii a couple of years ago now and I enjoy it as much now as I did when I first purchased it. Friends and family alike think it's a great way to exercise and just enjoy good times together. Would definitely recommend purchasing.
Had to have a Wii, and have had no problems - it's a great system and we all have fun with it.

I have missed playing tennis and the WII is a fun approximation of that game, as well as others. This game took a long time to get here - unlike most of my Overstock purchases...but I'm enjoying it thoroughly.
My children play it all the time, I have not had any problems with it at all.
I purchased this item to loose weight. I really enjoy the exercise program that came along with the console. I'm on my 9th day of the program and I've lost 6 lbs using it along with the Wii Fit Plus program. I highly recommend purchasing this item.
Unit is fun for all family members well worth the price
