A couple of my mates have them already, they are pretty good!! Not great for serious games as the controllers can be a bit hit or miss, but they are amazing fun for just having a laugh with some mates!!

I can't decide what to do now... I have put it on eBay but I reckon it will go for just over Ł400 (cost Ł280 with the games) so I might just keep it instead as its not much profit for getting up so early

Its like i said in another wii post, most times you play a computer game you want to sit down and relax with it, not feel like you have just done the krypton factor after a bout of tennis or whatever

Zetec Andy


but then you might aswell buy an xbox etc

people buy the wii for the arm throwing tantrums they want to do when they are losing in the game

my verdict anyhow

You just fill out a form on the Nintendo website and they post you out a new strap, no recall

P.S. I kept it in the end and have been playing it loads, its awesome
