Anyone else get a Wii?

did you hear about the asian chick who was playing bowling and threw the controller into her muli thousand dollar TV? Nintendo sees that as posative advertising. :P :P :P

It was on the news Christmas morning. They showed multiple tvs that had been broken because the safety strap broke, and the controller went flying into the screen. Their solution was to tell people to ease up a bit. :rolleyes:

Yeah..I heard this also, but don't you actually have to "hold" the controller to play, or is the straps the only things really holding them on?

I think it's a safety strap, and it's just not holding up to the rough usage and it's breaking. It's also possible a few people aren't using them. Although I'm sure you have to hold onto the controllers ... I didn't pay close attention to the news as my kids had me opening boxes at that time. :rolleyes:

They have actually recalled the straps. If you have a Wii you can get new ones sent to you.

Yeah, people tend to over-exert themselves on Wii Sports, because they think they have to. You don't really even need to move around (except a little in boxing), just move your arms. I would say that tennis and baseball are probably the ones more likely to send the remote out of your hand if the strap broke. However, use common sense! Wipe off your hand and the remote if it gets sweaty, hold on to the remote tightly, and don't swipe it so hard! I haven't seen it as a problem in any other games; they're more laid back and you can sit down while playing.

I downloaded the trial version of the internet channel, and as I went on it, I attempted to go to this site, naturally of course ;), but for some reason it wouldn't completely load. It's fairly fast, though, as it's using the same internet connection as the computers.

I highly recommend this system to anyone who wants a fun game console! (You may have to wait a little while, though, as they're very rare right now.)

My friend has a wii,it's alright but more of a family gaming console if you ask me.I have and xbox360

I have a wii, still waiting for the good titles to come out, launch was kind of a let down.

Since this post I have gotten Excite Truck. Very fun game!! I need another controller so I can do multiplayer...

i sat 6 hours for my playstation 3 and got nba 07 and resistance although graphics arent to much better than the 360. the controller is somewhat motion sensitive so you can turn your controller to steer a car just like the wii:)
