[megahertz_777]

This is $99.99 everywhere else. On Amazon: Wii $89.95, XBOX360 $89.95, PS3 $94.99. Good deal, if you're interested . . .

EA Sports Active franchise is awesome. I love the first one and the expansion.
But I don't know why they charge so much for this one to begin with.

Look at the box, they put like 2 sensors and 1 heart rate monitor in there. I'm surprised it is only $99.99.

WOW, totally shocked this is coming from Gamestop. Metacritic score is 62 right now, think I'll pass.

I got the first and I wasn't happy with the move detection, that is what worries me about this one.

Nice find OP. Only, don't know if I should holdout for the NFL Training camp version

They're charging more because EA threw in some heart rate monitors and I think it may also have motion sensors. Even then, it still seems overpriced at the $99.99 MSRP. Probably charged so much to cover the expense of developing the PS3 & 360 versions. This $69.99 price seems more reasonable.

And yeah, I also really enjoy Sports Active

Only real issue I have comes with lunges and then it's only a problem recognizing a lunge on one leg but not the other. Usually means I end up doing more reps on one leg instead of the other. Annoying nonetheless.

You kinda have to figure out what set position the game is looking for to trigger the counter. It's usually the beginning or end of a movement

I have the 360 version and it works pretty well, as long as you have lots of room. Also, you have to stand facing the TV before each exercise. Minor things, but overall good.

 

[sdclippers]

Does this really work? Thinking about jumping on this.

 

[PublikDefender]

there weren't any deals on this over the weekend so i got in on the $99 garmin forerunner 305 instead from amazon. oh well.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

Well, I ended up getting one. I love the idea of stat tracking and completing programs; I typically fall short when I manage exercise routines myself.

Not sure how I feel about dropping $75 after tax, but if it helps me lose these last 25 pounds, it will be worth every penny.

 

[pROvIs]

Nice deal got one for the gf for christmas works with $10 off next purchase code.

 

[Dranakin]

Was looking for a deal on this earlier, but got Wii Fit Plus instead.

 

[newbslice]

i hope it lasts until tomorrow

Any ideas on how this compares to your shape? I'm interested in the Kinect version maybe.

Edit: from this review Your Shape sounds like a superior product:
