and that's why they tell you to put the wrist strap on at the start of each game!!!

edit: ok I knew I should have read the article..

but apparently there's been lots of tv's/windows/lamps broken and some injuries too, all from not wearing the strap.

They are aware and it was made known even before it was released.

fair enough I got a bit sweaty playing wii tennis, but wasn't at risk of the thing flying out of my hand.

The wrist straps have been recalled evidently and are being replaced by a thicker veriosn at no cost the proviso is you have to ask for it..

And the "official" word from Nintnedo is "It's not a fault per se" but fuck me some ppl hit tennis balls farkkin hard..

True, nut have you tried buying a PS3?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the novelty of the Wii remote will last no longer than 12 months, then people will be sick of the "old-gen" graphics and typical Nintendo 3 year old game play and Nintendo will go the way of Sega.

It'll be sad, but it'll happen.

So let me get this straight...people pay hundreds of dollars for a games console, and thousands for a big widescreen tv...so they can play a simulation of a game XXarcade.gif that costs around $12 at the local lanes... bduh.gif

thats about the sum gist of it.
Not even taking into account the repair costs for the plasma if you screw up like this chick did.
