We have another exciting product test for you - we are looking for 40 Mumsnetters who don't already have a Wii at home but would like to take part in "My First Wii Challenge" with Nintendo.

Nintendo say they "are keen to offer Wiis to 40 MN families to encourage them to spend fun time together as a family as well as give them the opportunity to test out some great games". If you already have a Wii, please look out for the feedback thread for this project as Nintendo would like to hear your views too (in exchange for a prize draw Grin).

If you are selected for the test you'll be sent a Wii console, handsets and nunchucks for all the family plus the following games:

uDraw GameTablet with uDraw Studio
Mario Kart
Kirby's Epic Yarn, and
Just Dance Jnrs

We'd then like you to take part in 4 weekly challenges with the Wii. This will involve playing with one game per week and adding your feedback to a thread on Mumsnet.

The challenge will start week commencing 4 July and last for 4 weeks - so please only apply if you are able to add feedback every week in July.

Ideally we're looking for MNers in the UK with at least 2 children.

After the challenge is completed and you have added at least 4 lots of feedback you will be able to keep the console and games for your family to enjoy.

In addition, we will need 10 of the families selected to film themselves and their family playing with the Wii. These videos will be used on the Nintendo pages on Mumsnet in the autumn and possibly elsewhere (they will be hosted on YouTube). If you are willing to undertake the video element please indicate this on the form link below. You will be supplied with a FlipCam (which will need to be returned). You will be briefed on filming requirements but it shouldn't be too onerous.

To sign up please add your details here

Good luck and many thanks

Pippilongbottom your cakes look fabGrin

Those who don't get picked should console each other with cake. I will happily take part in thatGrin but more hopeful for a wii but that's highly unlikely! Although it would make the week I am spending with mil bearable if I am pickedWink

GypsyMoth · 25/06/2011 12:46

Lol jasper!! 'console' each other! Love it!!

PippiLongBottom · 25/06/2011 18:28

I didn't make the cakes, my childminder did. I wouldn't want to claim them as my own work. They are amazing.

SharonGless · 25/06/2011 19:11

Do I see some bribery going on here

Perhaps MN are secretly emailing all the entrants a list of their favourite cakes?

Neverlandpirate · 25/06/2011 19:27

Bribery? Oh never!!!GrinGrin

Adair · 25/06/2011 19:44

Please, miss, I am being good and waiting patiently and not bribing or nothing...

supergreenuk · 26/06/2011 06:56

Annmumsnet can you ensure I am not on the list as I put down that I would do the video of us playing with it as I thought it would give me a better chance. I have since mentioned it to DH and this is not acceptable to him. Gutted. Well it gives others a better chance I guess. Good luck everyone.

AnnMumsnet · 26/06/2011 11:53

supergreenuk - thanks for letting me know.

Marking place for tomorrow.. Would be nice to get a little surprise in my emails instead of spam.

Neverlandpirate · 26/06/2011 20:12

Chocolate profiteroles anyone? Smile

satine · 26/06/2011 20:55

I'm so pleased to find that the decisions haven't been made yet - I thought that as I hadn't heard, I hadn't been picked, and I was quietly a bit sad. But no! Hope lives on! How exciting!

PippiLongBottom · 27/06/2011 09:06

Ooh today is the day!!!

MrsSnaplegs · 27/06/2011 10:10

AnnMumsnet · 27/06/2011 11:49
