2008 came in a jiffy and with a big delivery. My Wii Fit came on Fri after a few days of being 'processed'. Anyway it is not cheap cos the shipping alone (thanks to the bulk of this thing) costed me 7000 yen which is around SGD91+.
Anyway here it is.
The box which housed the actual product.
It is quite a nice box actually with all the Jpn printings and it is a Wii Fit box!! Too bad mum was making too much noise abt the cleanliness of the box and it was thrown away this evening.
The actual product; Wii Fit.
This is one of the coolest game/gadget ever. It is designed for easy and fun healthy living in the living room. The box is huge and heavy because of the balance board where u need to stand on it to perform exercises haha. There are 4 main type of exercises for the player.Balance games, Aerobic, Yoga and Muscle training. U really have to try it to know how fun it is. I sweated it out for ard 30 min doing the hoola hoop (614 rounds) ahha and a bit of running.
As for my PS3, I wanted to get a simple 5.1 setup for the longest time. I find it is a waste for such a capable system to be only using the feeble tv speakers for gaming when it is fully capable of 5.1 surround. After some effort of searching, I bought it from a online seller who was looking to sell off his Pioneer HTP-330 which was a free gift from his Pioneer 42" Kuro Plasma TV. After looking at his own setup in his room, I know why he wanna sell this off cos his setup belongs to those mid-range-high end type, consisting of a Onkyo SR605 A/V receiver ($749 iirc), a pair of floor-standing KEF speakers ($1800) and a center speaker ($400). Well, this was my ideal setup too but I dun have the $ or the place to house all these.
Here's the setup:
Sound connection is via toslink cable from PS3 to speakers. Video is via HDMI.
It was raining cats and dogs when I met up with the buyer ( just grad from a US Uni) Anyway the 2 boxes were rather bulky so I took a cab home. It was raining rather heavily too and I got soaked when I carried the boxes to my block. After unpacking, I realised I left out the remote control. PHUQ! After reading the manual, I realised I cannot do a proper setup without the remote! Double phuq~ So I met him again today and finally got the remote + one plastic plug which was actually needed to secure the connection of the speakers behind the sub-woofer.
Initial setup failed, some speaker connection error. I turned off the system and tried again. Same thing happened. Then I rewired the center speaker and same thing happened! But last try it worked and the setup was completed. I tested the sound with Ninja Gaiden and the movie Letters from Iwo Jima. I was very impressed with the sound from the movie. So much details from the sound of the waves hitting the shores, the rustling of the sand, the rattling of the guns, the explosion from the bombs etc. Of cos, this is nothing compared to those mid-range-high end system as some people have. But for the price I paid for this system, I am pretty satisfied.
A poor man like me cannot ask for much right? hehe.
