Since the Wii ads are on telly and the first consoles hit the stores, I am damn temped to buy it just for the sake of it and have some brainless fun in the evening swinging my arms around like a child :D

The other day I stumbled upon some pics posted in the blog you can find here: http://www.wiihaveaproblem.com/

dude, you're flat out doing something wrong if you're sending the remote through the tv while BOWLING.

Nintendo has already said that most of the problems stemming from the strap breaking is because it's set too loosely, and when the string tensions, it snaps.

People are trying to make this all Nintendo's fault, but really they have a very limited liability in this.

lol, yea I saw this on "The best week ever" the week after it came out. Apparently if you look there are a ton of pictures of people hurting themselves and other things when the controller loses control

The Jabba will take note, as it seems Santa has already visited the JW HQ.

And yet another computer desk, and new monitor arms, this one at long last seems quite comfortable to use.

Except its not Nintendos liability you have to worry about.

Imagine visiting you rbuddy who just dropped $7,000 on a new 100" USXGA LCD UberDooper Telly.. and you are playing Wii and **crash** you brake his television.

It is suddenly your liability... or you the controller flies off and smashed his wifes teeth out.. ;)

This is the real problem.. the fact that "innocent" player will get shafted on having to pay :P

Then that's between the homeowner and his buddy :wink:

here's a better solution anyway..

Give yourself plenty of room. You will probably move around while using the Wii Remote, so be careful that all areas that you might move into are clear. Make sure that furniture, objects and people are out of the play area so you don’t accidentally bump into them while playing. Also, as indicated in the Wii Operations Manual, it is recommended to stay at least three (3) feet from the television.

:D :lol:

Tried ebay ? you can get one for as low as an american grand !

Yep, all the ones I have seen on ebay are for either the US or Hong Kong Markets. The US ones will need a voltage convertor and the hong kong ones are bound to be a bit dodgy if anything goes wrong with them, and I don't want to be stuck in "no mans land" if it needs to go back for replacement, especially after paying only "an american grand" :shock:
