For those of you who like to collect promotional DVDs, know that GameStop is giving away free DVDs that show off Wii Fit. Our best guess is that the footage on the DVD is things you've already seen (here at Wii Fanboy, we hope), so if you're intending on picking it up and catching something new to watch to hold you over until the bundle is released, then perhaps that might not be the best plan in the world.
Instead, we suggest you approach this as an opportunity to show it off to someone in your life who doesn't know what the 411 is. Show the game off to your mom, your English teacher or simply get a bunch of the DVDs and throw them around like ninja stars. That used to be fun with those AOL 3.0 CDs back in the day.

Not really, because then non Wii owners wouldn't be able to see it.

The whole point is that the Wii should support DVD playback... I don't really want this piece of crap on a game disc.

Well, free is free. I might pick one up to show it off at home. Of course, that is IF I happen to go to the local GameStop. It's been awhile. Maybe when I pick up the free disc I'll ask for a commemorative sticker to place on the cover.

THEY ARE???
...but I was literally JUST THERE (10 minutes ago, to be exact) ! *slaps head* I can't believe I didn't know that before I got there.
Promoting games is one of my hobbies. :P
I coulda' given it to my mom or my cousin, they woulda' loved to see it.
...hmmm... I COULD go back and see if they still have the DVDs... but I'm busy postin'. :P

Hmm.. This might be good for convincing HR to get a Wii for our fitness center at work. ;)

I was just at GameStop and saw these behind the counter.
When I asked for one, the woman said they were only for people who preordered... I think that kinda defeats the purpose of the DVD.

it does defeat the purpose. i thought the purpose of demos or promo DVD's was to inform people that didnt already know about the games but i guess im wrong. like im not a MGS fan but i would have tried out the beta but i didnt want to put down money on a game i wasnt sure i wanted (thats gas money!)

they had these sitting on the counter when i went to the GTAIV midnight launch. i picked one up, but then i realized i have absolutely no interest in this game so i put it back. i read these sites enough that ill know if something is coming out for it that i would like.

I think AOL 3.0 came on a floppy, actually.
