Hello All,
I am brand new here, and also brand new to the Wii (and truthfully - brand new to any sort of games). I am developing a list of questions to ask all of you, but just wanted to inform you of an email I received this a.m. from Amazon.

Dear Amazon.com Customer,

As someone who has shown an interest in fitness video games, you might like to know that EA Sports Active for the Wii is the featured Deal of the Day at Amazon.com. This offer is valid today only, January 7, 2010, and while supplies last.

Our Deal of the Day price is just $39.77, which is 34% off the list price.

Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=pe_36550_14042710_pe_gb_skin

I hope I did that correctly!
I will be back with my list of questions for all of you...just a hint...I am not even sure how to turn off the Wii Fit Plus! I get to the screen with the calendar/graph and don't know what to do, so I kill the power! As you can see, I have much to learn and look forward to learning a lot from all of you.

Happy Thursday!
Susan D

That is an excellent price for Active if anyone is interested.

To the game off and go back to the home screen you can either keep putting your "hand" on the circling arrow icon or press the button in the middle of your remote that has the little house on it. Once you are back to the main screen you can turn the power to your Wii console off by pressing the button on the front of it that is on the top with a green light or the power button on your remote (top left) will also shut it off.

It's better not to leave games in the console when not in use so pushing the button on the bottom of the console will eject your game. I'm not sure if this is true or not but I was told by a couple of computer geeks that it is better to have your console laying down flat than standing on it's side in the plastic holder it comes with.
