Does anyone know where the best place to get them is? (ie... the cheapest
)
I've debated about trying to get one now, or to wait until before or after Christmas, thinking they might be cheaper???

They will be cheaper now than if you wait until say November. After Christmas stores will be low on stock. I'd say buy now if you need one. I'd send ya one but it wouldn't be compatible with your telly or any of the games sold there!
Target Australia appears to carry them, and Target here in the US has been a reliable supplier of all things Wii.
Here's a list of suppliers:

If you work a bit at it, like getting up at midnight to check online inventory and the weekend newspaper adverts
you can get one. Talk to the folks who work at the stockists and see if they can advise you of when they tend to have stock, or if any promotions are coming up.
Good luck!

Too bad they won't work from North America. I was just in Canada a month ago and would loved to have brought one back for $75!
I guess I'll have to have a look around then. I will go ahead next time I see one.

Over here in the West Big W had quite a good bundle that included the wii fit. You could always put it on layby if you didn't want to pay for it all now.

We've already got the Wii and about 8 games. Just want (not need) the Wii Fit. I'll try Big W though, I think they seem to have the cheapest price on them.

Maybe there should be a game called Wii in the Garden where kids can pretend to run around a garden, climb trees, build tree houses, kick a ball about, play frisbee, etc...

The wii fit is fantastic when the kids cant get out or refuse to do PE at school like my eldest.

I ask if you bought your wii in the UK, does it allow you to buy games for it in aus?? we have one at the min and we move on the 23rd nov, does it need chipping??
#26
Nope.
UK Wii and Oz Wii are both PAL and games from either country run fine. You only need chipping if you buy games from US or Japan (I think) which are NTSC format.
oh and try JB HiFi for Wii Fit - they have loads in there and cost $130 when I bought one....

Apparently in a moment of weakness I agreed to get one of these for the kids for Christmas. As my technical knowledge ended with the ZX81/Spectrum I'm somewhat challenged as to what additional 'kit' I need to buy.
I'd greatly appreciate what else I should get - wii fit, sports, controllers, bundles, memory cards etc ! The kids are 6 and 8. I'm a little older.
