I got one for Christmas as well and am having a blast with it! It is kind of hard to get the sensor to read properly with me and my kid playing due to the height difference, but with two people close in height it seems flawless!

yeh it looks way more fun than the Wii. We have "just dance II" and "michael jackson" for the Wii...fun stuff but you can certainly cheat by only doing your arms...besides your half naked ***, it looks like you guys are having too much fun and that's what it's all about at the end of the day. Those dance games are bringing families closer together IMHO. I have never spent so much time with everyone (cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on).

I have a buddy of mine that got one, and my girlfriend and I went over and we all put back a few (too many) and played the track and field... I threw discus in high school, and the technique that I learned in high school actually mattered, it impressed me actually. The boxing however, was really disappointing, everything else was pretty fantastic though. All in all, I may drop the $150 for it eventually.

Only thing Im really holding out on is getting a new place with more room in the living room since you really need about 8' of clearance from the sensor, and I also want ot see what other games come out for it. Maybe by then I can pick one up used for cheap anyway

Looks like a lot of fun...I didn't realize that Dale Jr. played the track and field games too, I thought that he only played auto racing games with Martin Truex Jr.
