Not that I have any problem with them, and kind of doubt that I will break them, but they may get damaged or just start to wear out over time so I'm going to get two to replace the ones at my house.

That is pretty sweet of them. I'll definitely sign up for that when I get home.

Well I've heard -of- reports saying that people have broken their tvs when the nunchuk strap comes loose / breaks.

I'm still having a tough time understanding HOW people are managing to destroy their possessions due to flailing about with the Wiimote. It seems like a fairly simple equation to me: tighten the wrist strap, wash off your hands or take a break if you start getting sweaty, and HOLD ON TO THE GODDAMNED CONTROLLER.

That said, I just signed up for my replacement strap. It's like pulling teeth getting friends to tighten the strap completely when the Wiimote is passed around on Wii Sports, and I'm not even going to pretend that someone's not going to let fly with the controller one day when they're simply supposed to release B. The replacement strap is definitely idiot insurance in my eyes.

Dracko, really. At least make an attempt at relevance.

It's easy to belittle those casual gamers when you're using misleading advertising to bring them in, is all.

my father showed my a picture from the daily news the other day of a wii remote wedged into a tv. not into the screen, into the frame. like a knife.

i think we decided that the image was doctored.

Someone needs to try tossing them at dartboards or cutting meat.

At least that's one headline we'll never be unfortunate enough to see.

The PS3, obviously. The wife can take an extra job and the kids can sell lemonade (drugs) just to afford it!
