Wii fit balance board weight limit?

[Haggler]

Anyone know the weight limitation of the wii fit balance board in stones and pounds please, it must have some sort of a limit, i think this is one of the most important aspects to consider (for weightier people) before purchasing the game.

I'm a slightly above average 15 stone bloke, not huge but big enough to warrant this question before purchase, the rest of my family will have no such issues but i may indulge in a bash myself especially if the thing costs £70 i'll be wanting my moneys worth. Sorry if someone has answered this already, had a quick search and can't find any info on the subject.

*Edit I mean the limitation of what the actual board will withstand, not what it will measure*

150lbs for the UK board?

I heard that the Asian board goes up to 300lbs and the American board upto 350lbs. Not because American's a bigger, but because in Japan Nintendo would have had to of done something special in terms of providing a scale that measures over 300lbs and they didn't want to go through it.

Can anyone confirm or disprove that?

Shame they could have called it the sumo scale.
