Default Has anyone played the Wii??

If anyone has played it can you tell me if the wristrap is rubbish or is it just people using too much force with sweaty palms?

Both. with some care you'll be fine.. but some creative redesign to re-inforce the strap wouldn't hurt.

it's not the strap itself that sucks, it's the small piece that hooks the strap onto the controller.

whether this makes it worse for you, or is comforting... i barely play my wii. i keep saying 'oh ill play zelda ... after a few more 360 games...' ... meh.

no achievement points .

what a waste of time!

I only play the wii when people are over / we play sports. Any other time... 360.. cuz it rules. So maybe that wil make you feel better, unlss you were planning a giant wii sports party this weekend.

edit: don't get me wrong. im very happy i bought it. it's irreplaceable now for drinking games!

If you just act normal the wrist wrap won't break, in fact you won't even need it... Hope to get a Wii tomorrow, but i fear the worst

I pre-ordered mine from Gameseek.co.uk who charged £180 for it to be paid there and then on 19th September 06 this year! For them to tell me TODAY, yes T-O-D-A-Y - 1 day before official launch that I wont be receiving my Wii this week. Due to wholesaler shortages, but I might possibly get one next week

Yea, that is pritty shitty. It sucks they can charge you and tell you your paying for something you'll get the day it comes out and than tell you later you wont be recieving it as soon.
