An AP news story just released says that Dance Dance Revolution is becoming the
weight-loss routine of choice for many young gamers. One quote says '"At
first I was playing it for fun, but when you see results you're like, Yeah!"
said Matt Keene, a 19-year-old from Charleston, South Carolina, who used to
weigh more than 350 pounds and wear pants with a 48-inch waist.' It's for
grown-ups too. Even Jason Enos, product manager at Konami Digital
Entertainment-America, which distributes the game in the U.S., has lost 30
pounds playing the game. There's even a site for DDR wieght loss fans:

been playing for months now with this goal in mind, though we aren't yet seeing
these results.
