- Tae bo amped

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for your input! I am on the fence about

getting these. I may wait awhile and see where they

end up retail (like if I can buy them without the

gadget especially since it sounds like I don't " need "

it from your review). Or, at least I'll wait until

Collage has a clip up I can view. On the one hand, I

just love Tae Bo, but on the other hand, even though I

discoverd Tae Bo 'late' in my vidiocy, nothing

compares to the Lives and the Get Ripped series for

me!

It is good that you can return it, though.
