What's it equal? Me getting in shape, and the hours flying by at the same time while I replay an old classic.

Sure, the treadmill was about $600, and the game was about $65 on ebay, but if you figure $40 a month for the gym, it'll pay for itself in...17 months. The game can easily last that long, since I only let myself play while working out.

Good call, but try to give yourself a few minutes excercising your arms by putting the controller up for a bit. bad form = bad excercise. Still....seems like a neat idea. Chocobo racing might be a little hard.

Works for me. I usually play PS2 games while riding the exercise bike in the morning. I get my exercise in and I get some undisturbed time to play that my wife or daughter don't complain about.

Already bought wrist weights, so I move the controller around quite a bit :)

It would be cool if you could tie character motion to the treadmill so you have to actually walk around to make your character move.

They tried that, but too many people got hurt when trying to do Omnislash.
