Wii Fit U Meter *sigh*

I have been enjoying the new Wii Fit U and I actually had decided to buy the meter so I could keep the digital verison. Well guess who cant find it in a single store close by? This girl! The only store it is in is like 20 to 30 miles from where I live. I find it sad that this is mostly avaiable online only, there is very few physical store options. Why encourage this product to some high degree to not send it to stores fully? I personally prefer actual store shopping, not online. I dont care to pay for shipping when I can go pick it up and have it that day. I just dont really understand it at all, I guess ill just wait on it. I dont care to buy it online enough to make the purchase and my free trial ran out Dec 9th.

Other then the meter being a pain in the ass to get a hold, the game itself is fun and solid. They have a lot of fun workouts and the challenges do encouage you to come back the next day. They did a really good job with it so if you do enjoy using some workout stuff on your game system Wii Fit U is def worth a look into. Just be warned, the Meter at this point in time is hard to get in physical stores, you pretty much have to buy it online. If online shopping is not a thing you like or even do then your better off waiting for the physical disc with the meter bundled or for the meter itself to be sold in more stores.

I ordered it online yesterday for my mom.  she loves wii Fit, and I wanted her to try out the new Wii U version when I get my Wii U for xmas.  It's a pretty good deal though that you get the game for free if you buy the meter (considering u already have a balance board)

It def is a great deal, just kind of a pain in the ass to get a hold of,lol. I wish they gad out it physically in more stores. They only have it at toys r us and frys right now and my area doesnt have niether close by. My dad nicely offered to buy it at frys for me next week so I will be getting it sooner. I hope your mom enjoys the game!

My guess is that stock is low due to the holiday season.  You'll probably be able to find them in good plenty in January/February.

While I agree it might be a stocking problem, they only gave it physically to 4 stores. Everywhere else is online only. The one store that got it physically in my area is over 20 miles away from where I live. I think once the bundle with the game releases it will be at more places.

Im unfortunately starting to buy digital alot more for that exact reason I want F1 2013 and have heard of three different release dates thats came and gone and still its not for sale anywhere so im actually going to end up getting it digital since thats the only way im going to get it ( sigh ) but I guess the wave of the future is unavoidable.

The digital age is prolly def upon us. Im both excited and afraid of it but sometimes we have to face something wether we like it or not. Is it out digitally now?

Yeppers its been out for a couple of months but I wanted a physical copy but it looks like thats not gonna happen but one bright side to digital I cant trade them in lol!!

Very true, digital Is not tradable. Now I remember Gamestop talking about trying to start a program where you could trade digital stuff but I dont think it worked out. Though with the digital age might be a way to finally do that, so it might not remain untradeable for long,lol

I hate it when games aren't available close by. I'd rather keep my purchases local, and let the folks here have the money, and I get a physical copy. I agree with Jamie, it could be because of the holidays

Im def hating it, I just dont see why they couldnt have sent some to stores like target or walmart. They gave them online stock but not for the stores physically. The only stores that carry it physically are frys eletronics and toys r us in my state. There both like over 20 miles from where I live. Im not a big online shopper so the online only option is a big let down,lol
