Wow, looks like the replacement better be made out of SPIDER SILK for it to solve the problem. They must have really weak arms over there in Japan...

Truth be told, I have not even taken off the plastic wrapping on mine, just to maintain the resale. Unless you are an epileptic, ADHD 6 year old, you probably don't need it. ;)

Thanks for the link though. May as well pick them up.

i dont see how these things break off so easily, i was playing the wii for 6 hours straight, never once did i use the strap or did it even come close to falling out of my hands.


guess some people are just very clumsy, i still have yet to have a scratch on my 3 year old ipod or drop my cellphone.

Let alone throw it with enough force to break the strap and put a wiimote sized hole in your plasma or lcd. You cant fix stupid. :rolleyes:

Exactly. You cant fix the stupidity of people by giving away free straps. I guarentee you someone doesnt install it right, puts a hole through there TV cause it snapped right off, and then goes on complaining about how its to complicated to put on. :rolleyes:

We played Wii bowling for 8 hours straight while trashed...didn't come close to dropping or throwing the remote once. I think we were at least "mildly retarted" by then. :beer:

I don't know how people do it.
