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

Then that's between the homeowner and his buddy

here's a better solution anyway..
