I went out & bought Just Dance 3 last night -- I'm obsessed!! It seriously kicks my butt but I have so much fun doing it. I'm competitive so I'm determined to get 5 stars on every song LOL

So thank you :)

ETA: How do you know how many calories you're burning? Today I got 4350 sweat points or something around there but I don't know how many calories that is. Do you do one of the sweat programs? I started the easiest one but as you can see I surpassed the sweat points for the week just today. So I'm going to switch it I think to the middle one.

    I think she said it was something like 4.2 sweat points = 1 calorie burned. Which would mean you burned about 1,035 calories - pretty badass!

    Ollie I was sweating & out of breath through most of it (I'm pretty out of shape) but I wasn't bored or wanting to stop at all.  I had so much fun. And then Sean got home & had fun laughing at me! It's a game the whole family can enjoy hahahahaha

    Yep, from most of the fitness blogs I read, 4.2 sweat points = 1 cal burned. And that was apparently based on averaging what people were reading off heart/pulse monitors.

    Yep, JD2 and JD3 are Wii games, but I'm pretty sure they make them for Playstation as well (is it Playstation, the one that follows your movements around without a controller?).

    One of the newer features on JD3 is that the more "points" you rack up (ie. the more you play), you unlock different things. Sometimes it's a new song, othertimes it's a new mash-up (one song, but snippets of a bunch of different dances mixed together), othertimes it's a new playmode (we just unlocked "Simon Says" mode...I haven't tried it yet though).

    JD2 and JD3 also have shops that you can purchase additional songs, and they periodically add new songs to choose from. We haven't purchased any extras for JD3 yet, but we bought a bunch of extra songs for JD2 and they ended up being some of my favorites.

    That being said, I definitely recommend getting JD2 and JD3. Having them both will cost you a little extra, but it seriously gives you a huge variety of songs to pick from. Also, switching back and forth between 2 and 3 (and switching up what songs you do in each workout) keeps your body from getting used to one particular set of songs.

    Just in case you're curious about song lists:

    They have it for X-Box Kinect, not Playstation I don't think. They might have it for Playstation too but Oceana you're thinking of X-Box.  

    On Thanksgiving we all took turns playing together (my aunt only had 2 controllers) and I beat everyone with my 4 stars on the Apache song LOL! 

    I am going to look through the shop & see what they have.  I've unlocked quite a few things so far, my favorite is the Party Rock Anthem mashup. 

    Lunar, it's SOOOOOO much fun especially with more people but I'm also super competitive :)

    Yes, was definitely thinking of the Kinect (I could picture it in my head, as that's what rickylee and her DH have, but I couldn't remember if it was Playstation or Xbox).

    I friggin love Party Rock Anthem mashup. That's my warmup every single time I play JD3. I like the mashup far better than the straight up single-dance version of the song.

    LOL...I'm glad we're not the only ones that use JD2/3 as a party game. One (or both) of them gets busted out every time we have a party. DH/ricky's DH/ana's DH have been known to get into dance battles. LOL

    Thank you for posting those links! 

    I think I like the songs wayyy better on JD2 than JD3!  I just texted Sean and let him know how badly I need JD2 :)

    If you get 2, make sure to buy <em>Maniac </em>and <em>Pon de Replay</em>. <em>Maniac </em>will kick your arse, and <em>Pon de Replay</em> is awesome for loosening up your back/hips (lot of dancehall style stuff).
