Go easy with your Wiimote or you could break your TV

Published by GadgetSpy November 20th, 2006 in Gadgets, Consoles & Video Gaming.

wiimote into screenDuring a couch sitting game of Wii Sports: Bowling a user posted to a forum how he let go of the controller and the Wiimote wrist strap snapped causing his remote to cause a nice big crack in a 60″ TV.

The post is over at the awful forums here with various pictures and a rundown of the accident

Lots of Digg users are calling BS but IGN’s strap broke on Wii boxing so maybe it’s not that hard after all?

So for all you new Wii owners out there, remember to go easy when whacking those imaginary tennis balls and make sure if you have a sweat problem (like those who discolour macbooks :) certainly consider giving yourself frequent wipedowns during mammoth gaming sessions!

Cue the next cases…Wiimote protectors.
