Broken Wiimote Wrist-Strap = Broken TV Screen

Tuesday, Nov. 21 2006 | Author: Griffith

Though it still amazes me how anyone has managed to let a game controller slip from their hands, with enough strength to break a TV screen, it’s a bit worrying that the strap is so fragile.

Troy feels REALLY bad. But all of us present determined it was not his fault. The wrist strap just plain failed.

How would you react in this situation?

With disbelief! I can’t believe that anyone’d be able to actually chuck the lightweight Wii controller at a screen and really break it. Sure, the controller might suffer serious damage from the collision, but the TV screen? Baffling. Perhaps it would be a good idea to also _hold on to the controller_ instead of just letting it dangle from the strap? That poor guy (and his poor TV)…

He probably broke his tv without even playing wii and then cut his controller strap to hide his own stupidity, seriously i wanna see the picture of what kind of shape the wiimote is in because wiimote vs tv i think tv would definatley win.

Yeah right. I can understand a broken TV. A broken Wiimote… not so much. I’ve heard stories of dents in walls caused by flying Nintendo controllers.
