Why do your Wiis need prophylactics?

The Wii-motes have a smooth surface..I believe there have been instances where the remotes fly out of peoples hands if they're not wearing the straps. The jackets will provide a better grip.

Why do your Wiis need prophylactics? To protect from STDs. Slippery Thrown Device, that is.

This whole Wii remote thing is starting to get pretty funny. First they replace the straps because they were breaking and the remotes were flying through TV's and people. Now they have come up with a cover for the remote, to do what soften the blow? So next year every Wii will be released with a helmet and a shield, or perhaps a warning label to tell consumers that getting to excited during game play may be hazardous to yours and others health.

. . .perhaps a warning label to tell consumers that getting to excited during game play may be hazardous. . . Maybe Nintendo should try to reach a different demographic. Something along the lines of Wii Shuffleboard.

Well, I think it's past time to acknowledge that the form factor of the Wiimote is a "design flaw". I dig the Wii, but all these mitigating measures are starting to add up.
I think they should make some kind of controller "glove".

Something like this?Although it appears that this wikipedia entry has been severely redacted to make that item look much better than I have read it to be...

That's too funny I was just talking to a co-worker about the old power glove and he said they need to bring it back, as it might actually work with todays technology.
On a different tangent for all of you with out Wiiconnect on there is an update today that allows a USB keyboard to be used with the WII.

Yeah, Ken, something like that Thanks for the tip, Jason. The ability to use a wireless USB keyboard might be magic for embracing the Opera browser. Cool.

I've been using Opera for the last 4 years but I think now I'm gonna dump it. It's too bloated and it keeps shutting down and freezing up on me. It's become bloatware.

Opera on the WII is a much lighter version. It seems to work quite well. I hope to try the keyboard when I get home tonight/morning which ever you want to call 2:30AM.

So I guess if I want to continue using Opera, I should get a Wii :-).

Well I amsitting in my HT area and typing this on my Keyboard hooked up to the WII! This is a nice feature. You do have to go back and redownload the updated Browser and Everybody votes channel fo rthis to work. It is not quite as good as a PC but a little more comfortable. The keyboard is only for use instead of the Ninetendo on-screen one that pops up when you need to enter text. The Wiimote is still used for navigation.
