Did you vow to work out more this year? While we can't exactly help you get into shape, we do have a great way that you can add video games into your exercise repretoire.
Amazon is currently running a "Get Fit, Have Fun in 2012" promotion. That basically means that when you buy the Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle (4GB or 250GB) and one of the select Kinect games, the retailer will throw in the compatible Fitbit Wireless Activity/Sleep Tracker absolutely free. This item is valued at $99.95, making it a very nice freebie. And who knows? Maybe you'll actually lose a few pounds, as well. Find out more about the bundle on Amazon's main promotion page:
This offer allows you to choose between the 4GB and 250GB versions of the Xbox 360 console. Of course, the hard drive is different. Also, the 4GB version comes with the alien-themed Kinect Adventures game, while the 250GB Holiday Bundle adds in a digital code so you can download Carnival Games: Monkey See Monkey Do.
Otherwise, both packages include a wireless controller, a composite AV cable, and a one-month membership to Xbox LIVE Gold. That Xbox LIVE membership allows users to tap into additional games, as well as services like Netflix, HBO GO, Hulu Plus, and much more. All of those perks are easy to access, since the Xbox 360 console includes built-in WiFi.
Another nice bonus is that this is a bundle, which means that the Kinect add-on is also included inside the package. This adds hands-free motion into your gaming experience, via the Kinect's built-in motion-tracking camera. No controllers are needed!
The offer also states that you'll need to buy one Kinect game. Five are eligible with this offer, including the insanely popular Just Dance 3, Dance Central 2 and Kinect Sports Season Two. If you're looking more for a workout regimen, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2012 and UFC Personal Trainer are also available.
Remember that when you order, you must add the console bundle, the game and the Fitbit Wireless Activity/Sleep Tracker into your shopping cart. The Fitbit is the freebie, which you will see reflected in your shopping cart. It's a nifty little item for couch potatoes and workout junkies alike, tracking daily steps, stairs, distance, calories, and more.
When buying this bundle, make sure that you order each item from Amazon -- and not one of its third-party merchants. They are the ones running the promotion, which includes free shipping on this entire purchase. There's no word on how long Amazon plans to run this promotion, but the website says that they could pull it at any time. Better order soon before the deal is done or Amazon runs out of stock!
