The third new way to play with the Wii is the Balance Board. It looks like a scale or aerobics step, and it will ship with a new game to be called Wii Fit. The board is pressure sensitive so it can measure shifts in weight and calculate players' body mass index (Wii Fit called poor Reggie "overweight" as he demonstrated it onstage). The stats will track players' progress in Fit, and the board will be used in exercises ranging from yoga to heading soccer balls.

I wonder if this is actually going to be a good get fit device or if it's going to be another Playstation "I-toy aerobics" type debacle. The idea of being able to have an interactive scale that enables you to track the progress of either "offline" work-out routines or even some wii routines seems like a great idea to me though.
