    I have a zumba for the PS3 and it's never been opened! I've had it for a year now! Maybe I'll try it and see!

    i like zumba for the wii. you can do 20mins, with warm up and cool down and burn over 200kcals. i haven't tried the dvds though, but i like being able to fit in 20mins here and there, in between my daughter's naps and playdates!

    I actually have Zumba on Kinect and it is pretty good. There are a lot of incentives and extras on there. To me, the dvd's are boring compared to the game.

    Find a Zumba group. The intensity and the fun will keep you interested. I've been doing it for 18 months and I'm not a gym brat by any means, but I do love Zumba. PS I have the Zumba for WWii but it's just not the same.

    I have Zumba for the Xbox Kinect and like that I can learn the moves in the privacy of my home without bumping into everyone while I go the wrong way.

    I like the current music at the live classes as opposed to the generic Latin music on the game. If the DVD's have current tunes it might be just as enjoyable as playing the game in the privacy of my home with current tunes.

    It doesn't matter how or where you do...just Zumba!

    I love the Wii Zumba. I get a great workout and I love being in control of how much I do at a time. I exercise an hour a day 6 days a week on the Wii (using a combo of Wii Zumba, Wii Fit, and Wii Biggest Loser). Some days I will do an hour of all Zumba and some days I will only do 20 minutes of Zumba. No matter how long I do Zumba for, it is always a great workout.

    I am partial though. I love working out at home. It is cheaper than a gym, I can do it with my family, and I can do it anytime...all in the privacy of my own home. I am a student and being busy with class all the time, it is perfect to be able to squeeze in workouts whenever I have time that day.

    Hope this helps.

    The workouts are very similar, in fact some are exactly the same. So it's really just a matter of preference or money. The Wii games are cheaper than the DVDs if you already have a Wii. I like the DVDs better because there are real people on them, but the Wii is really fun too. The Zumba 2 Wii game has more realistic looking characters. (I have the DVDs, my daughter has the Wii games and I do them with my grandsons some times).

    I've only done it on the Wii once. I find I do not have much rhythm, but I did feel it was tough.

    I have never done the DVD's but after my experience with the Wii game I would bet that it is easier to follow on the WIi for a beginner.
