but no injuries or damage.

I foolishly set the Wiimote down on the couch to grab a glass of water and when I sat back down I didn't realize I was on the cord. I tried to lift it up and the thing just gave so easily.

up until this point I really found it hard to believe that people were destroying their houses. but I honestly can't believe how this thing snapped with the most minimal of force.

u didnt get the thicjer straps from NINTENDO for free?!

get to www.nintendo.com they send ya up to 4

Dude I thought it was BS too, than a week after the news, my 6 year old little brother broke it. Now I'm not saying he was just playing regularly, he just has no concept of grip and was whipping it like a fool. Luckily the Wiimote didn't break, but he was never alowed to touch the Wii without some strict supervision. I got 4 free straps from Nintendo, you need one?

I never contacted them because I figured I wouldn't have any problems and they would hold up.

I guess I will now though

i still haven't seen these at retail yet. my parents want to buy one to have at their house for when we have sunday dinners. when will the hype die enough to get them on shelves?
