Fact: feet are disgusting. Also a fact: the Wii Balance Board is very, very white. What price will you pay to keep it that way, and prevent mucky feet from tarnishing its perfect surface?
Linx Products hopes that you'll pay ¥1,554 (around $14). The company recently started marketing these ivory-colored protective covers for Nintendo's peripheral, and they're available now on Amazon Japan for exactly that price. They can be washed up to fifty times, and apparently feature ... some anti-bacterial agent that we couldn't decipher.
These are still Japan-only, so the rest of you will have to settle with sticking other stuff on your Balance Boards. Or you could just wash your damn manky feet.

Putting your feet on the Balance Board and measuring your own BMI is so last year -- head here to read up on one blogger's quest to measure his apartment. And a cat.

The last time I "played" Wii Fit was to measure my luggage. It was spot on, too, which we all know is very important in this day and age of rising energy costs.
Tire gauges!

That is possibly the funniest comment I have ever read on this site ever, lol.
But anyway, reminds me of how with the new plastic covers on the WIi Remotes that now you can see dirt on the Wii remotes even more, i have to wipe with alcohol whenever people finish played to keep them from turning colors and I have to wash the wrist strapes so much.

Mad Catz makes a silicon protective cover. Saw it at Bestbuy when last time I was there.
