Default Wii Problems

Apparently the strap for the Wii controller is to weak and over 800 people have had the straps broke for them. This video pretty much sums it all up.

This one is just funny

Some of the people were just stupid in some of the things.

Please, putting force into your movements doesn't increase your control. These losers got what they deserved. It's like slamming the keys on a keyboard, it doesn't make the text bigger.

Exactly, I mean you can get into a game, but not that much.

People are just being too rough with it. The keyboard metaphor is a really good way of putting it. When you don't use a product as intended bad things can happen and it's no one's fault but your own.

My friends and I have gotten pretty close to hitting the screen with the controller, but then again, we had a bit too much to drink that night.

There is a website devoted to this very thing. If I remember right, the address is something like: www.wiihaveaproblem.com
