More bang for the buck$$!! XaviX delivers!

Every year I get the privilege to spend a little extra dough on items for the kids via gift cards earned from our Hoops For Heart campaign. In the day and age where the cost of PE equipment has shot through the roof, I tried to find something that the kids have not seen or done before. After thumbing through the catalog, I came across an item that caught my attention. The XaviX Port gaming system!!


This tiny little gaming system seemed to be able to all the things that a Wii could do but for only half the price. In comparison, the Wii cost $199.00 where as the XaviX Port cost $79.99. Like your Wii's and XBox Kinects, the XaviX Port is an interactive game where you the player controls the play of the game through your body actions. You are literally the joystick. Like the other gaming systems, you could buy additional games to play. Where as the games that you buy for the other systems comes with a disc, the XaviX comes with a cartridge and a joystick of the activity you are doing. For example, tennis comes with tennis rackets, bowling with a bowling ball, fishing with a rod and baseball with a bat and ball to name a few. So I took a chance and went ahead and used the gift cards to get the gaming system and two games; baseball and tennis.


Purpose
According the to the XaviX Port website, the systems serves several purposes;









  • To bring happiness and a smile to every one's face with a product who's main goal is to bring an improved quality to life.

  3. I think it looks like fun. Is it as easy to manipulate as the Wii? Or do you actually have to go through the real motions to play all the games? I think this would be a great way to get kids involved in PE class. Great idea.
