I want to get my son something for our Xbox that will get him moving while playing video games (he's 10).
I know some of the other gaming systems have things like dance games or action games with a mat that get them running, jumping, etc. and wanted a recommendation for the XBOX for Christmas time. I want something that he'll love and that will get him exercising while he plays. Looking for advice from you guys on what's good in this area since I don't want to waste money on something lame.

Thanks!!

I will look into this for you and get back to you... Original Xbox? correct?

Yes, it's the original xbox.

Skipping the excercise part, i simply recommend games like HALO II & Call Of Duty II, maybe not exactly for kids but he can play it too. it'll keep him busy for a few days or if you have some other console or its ok for him to emulate games on your PC then get some real kid-like games for e.g that of sega ones

Yeah it's the exercise factor I want. My niece has a playstation and they got a dance game with a mat and it even tells you how many miles/kilometers you've totalled in your playing. I want something for the xbox that has a mat and gets him moving. He's not into sports but loves gaming and I want him to be more active.
Thanks for the suggestion though :)

I'm not familiar with specific X-box accessories, but I have one simple suggestion. Did you think of getting him a portable game console, such as the PSP? The portable game system means he can go around with it, and he'll be more likely to do other things too.
