$50 for a controller instead of $40? I never have other people over to play games (tiny tiny apartment) so the game wouldn't ever get played. Plus I wanted colored remotes, Wii Party U is only available in boring black which wouldn't even match my white console.
Adding a competitive element to what is essentially a lifestyle assistant is a bit counter-intuitive. People might consider it intimidating and is antithetical to the purpose of Wii Fit's existence.
The clip is about 1" wide by 1.75" long. It's sturdy plastic so hopefully it will last a while before it breaks or losses it's spring. If I hold it in my hand and walk, it won't register any steps (which is good, imo). When I clip it on my belt, it registers everything properly. My guess is that a loose cargo pocket probably won't get an accurate reading.
Whats your issue with the waiter one?...think that might be my fave!
I haven't gone though every activity, but the ones I have played had off-TV support. You might have difficulty doing some activities on the gamepad, though - I couldn't recognize which side of my body the ball was on during the squash game, for example.
