Advantages: facilitates and improves games it's designed for, versatile, accurate

Disadvantages: none

I got the board as part of the wii fit bundle, as it is pretty much a neccessity to the wii fit. Stepping onto it for the first time was as nerve wracking as stepping onto a pair of bathroom scales normally is; in fact it was worse than that..reason? Because this thing is very accurate. In the end I had no need to worry, as I was informed via wii fit I was the perfect bmi! The blanace board is a revolutionary piece of technology, sensitive to the slightest movement in any part of your body; it's fantastic for playing games such as shaun white snowboarding, and is essential to the wii fit package. The versatility of this board is what makes it well worth the money..don't think you're just paying to use the wii fit. More and more games are incorporating the use of this board in their game, and the fact it allows games to become even more interactive is what will appeal to wii-gamers the most. The board is fantastic not only for that gameplay, but also for improving your health. Sure, it allows programmes such as wii fit to recognise your movements on a virtual snowboard, and allows you to see your weight and BMI, but more than that it allows you to correct your posture through correcting your centre of gravity. Ever wondered about that twinge if your left knee when standing for a couple of hours? Well the wii fit will show you that you're posture puts too much weight on the left side of your body.
All in all, it's a great addition for any wii-gamers.

Summary: If you've got a wii, this is a must have
