dear all,

you do realise this is a publicity stunt don't you? please tell me you do.

for a moment i thought every one here was sucking-off nintendo for being so nice.

does anyone watch news channels? business reports? the Wii has had some seriously good exposure on prime time TV thanks to the apparent 'thousands' of controllers flying through the air.

"yeah i heard the story about the guy who smashed a 120" HD1080p tv cos his nintendo Wii was so freaking AMAZINGLY GOOD that he couldn't resist the urge to fly around his room swinging the contoller like a rabid baboon"

if anyone thinks these stories are true you need to turn off your pc, count to ten, and go socialise with the real world outside.

the PS3 has a half arsed motion sensing setup you cant compare it to the WII the PS3s is just tacted onto the pad because they couldn't put rumble into it.

the kills both the PS3 and 360 in game control alone I am tried of playing pretty looking but overly SHALLOW games.....I hope Nintendo focuses more on game control..

First off guys, its spelled Uruk-hai and I belive that they are a cross breed between elves that had been captured or turned to evil and orcs. And yes that has happened before, if you read the Silmarillion, Sauron is an elf that got corrupted.

thecraigc,
"so what... the guy made a typo..."
English may not be his main language or he just doesn't know how to spell retarded!

Interesting that they are switching them with new consoles. Maybe the ones I got after waiting in line at launch for hours will become a rare collectors item in 5 years when everyone has the new super-strong ones ;)

I can see the eBay listing now... ORIGINAL wii wristband, the ones that broke tvs! Starting bid $99.99.

theonejrs, you are possibly the biggest loser i have ever seen. i cant believe u actually signed your post with "theone"....RIGGHHHHTTTT OK

i don't know what a Uruk'ai is

nvm i don't even care lol

Uruk'ai is a lord of the rings character or class or thing.

if a guy did break a plasma tv then he musta been pretty stupid the wrist strap is only there for support he must have been swingin it like a mad man cause i does take quite alot of force for the screen to break and also arent you supposed to actualy hold the remote...

look if theres at least one wii user out there that broke the strap with normal use, using the device like nintendo intended, then nintendo SHOULD supply new straps to every1. and im sure that not every broken strap was an act of mallice.

andydawog,

And you need to learn a little respect for your elders or know what you are talking about before you shoot off your big mouth! You know, engage brain first!

theone

well obviously the more u post the more arrogant you become...chill mate ur opinion doesnt mean more because you've posted more posts than me. grow up champ

andydawog

OH GOD I'm holding a controller at the moment!

akaangus
controller or not you still will get shot if you annoy them :P

the ps3 controller has the same motion technology. i like how it uses normal controller functions mixed with the motion stuff, in madden to do a juke move you just flip the controller to one side realy fast. in resistence when alien thingys latch onto you you shake the controller to shake them off of you in the game.

You feel restarted about playing on the Wii <b>because you are retarted !!</b>

The Wii is great and an absolute giant success. Unfortunately the controllers are a little to complex for some people. It actually is a hilarious situation.
Certainly the Wi controller and the Wi would be extremely difficult for those who haven't risen from their butts in years and focus on tinee buttons. No movement or social interaction with the Sony or Pukebox.
Not understanding that throwing something like this can potentially cause a dent or hit somebody would be typical of anyone that has purchased a Xbox or other Microshaft products. The Microshaft "cloneheads" are not used to creative thought, but are used to doing and accepting whatever garbage they are told to do by Microshaft.

This is not a Wii problem, it is a stupid people problem. They are j ust not used to moving, at all. The same people have probably been hurt others by throwing wireless headsets, cell phones and PDAs.

There is a large culture of spoiled, immature, brats who can't grow up and learn to take responsibility for anything they do.
Picture some idiot playing Wii tennis, getting totally out of control and think they are funny by swinging with their alcohol filled bodies getting out of controlm falling down and trowing the Wii controller fall down, and throw the controller due to their lack of brains, coordination, sobriety and out of control controller and creating dents on the wall and hitting someone. Then they look to blame Nintendo for their out of control, immature actions !!

These are the same people who have made the makers of the $5.00, Superman Halloween costumes write a warning on the costume. The warning reminds them that they CANNOT FLY WHEN WEARING THE SUPERMAN COSTUME.

I can fly in my superman costume.

I prefer to be naked in my birthday suit. I leave flying to the the "retarted" ones.

emachine...maybe not all seniors are ************** (who knows wat i said...but trust me...it was rude:P)

I did not mean to offend anyone with a wii , but i would go with a ps3 or a 360 controller because of its interface.moving to A 'normal' controller to a wii , is like moving from organic food to GMO food.

I'll take the wii mote,at least its trying to get more ambiguous from left and right handed,I guess you are a normal non south paw,because game control has gone to hell over the years once apon a time full button mapping for FPSs was the normal and now adays you are lucky to get a correct southpaw config,its not like Nintendo is offering button mapping in their system but its a step up from the "pad".

as for issues with the controlling WII controller you can sit down and relax haveing it by your side you don't have to be up into the TV.

and heres soemthign I don't get most hardcore gamers love a challenge and learning how a play a game yet I hear most bitch and whine over the WII....the voices in my head tell me they need to focus its the graphics they are bitchign abotu because the system plays fine!

well maybe you shouldn't be hearing voices in your head in the first place

timchya
better to have voices than to be easily distracted by shiny games...er objects :P
