Wii straps to be replaced

    Nintendo, manufacturer of the wildly popular Nintendo Wii, is set to replace more than three million straps for the video game console's controllers after a number of reports that players have been playing Wii games enthusiastically-a little too enthusiastically-and losing their grip on the controller, resulting in broken TV sets and cut fingers in the process. According to ABC News:

    Nintendo said Friday it will replace 3.2 million straps for its popular Wii computer game controllers after receiving a rash of reports that the device flew out of the hands of players.

    The Wii's signature wand-like remote controller is used to mimic the motions of a tennis racket, golf club or sword, depending on the game. But soon after the Wii went on sale last month, people started reporting cases of the controller's strap breaking as they waved it about vigorously.

    Nintendo will allow customers to exchange the old straps, which have a 0.024 inch diameter, for a beefed up strap that has a diameter of 0.04 inch, company spokesman Yasuhiro Minagawa said. The worldwide exchange is expected to cost the company several million dollars.

    The Wii has just been given the ultimate compliment-a rather costly one, but one hell of a compliment nonetheless. Who needs kick-ass graphics when you can get yourself into a video game-and have broken TVs and the bruises to show for it?
