Rubber grips, stop em flying out of peoples hands and cushioning when they slam into your bedroom wall..

Maybe they do less damage than a naked controller when they're bouncing off people's heads

The last digit has a square box round it on the serial. Do you put that in too on the form ?

Teaches a good thing to the little boys and girls for the future - if you want something to be feel protected and safe, throw rubber around it.

Not really, for starters rumble isn't being introduced to rectify health and safety issues that the average idiot manages to create when using a Wiimote. The extra thick straps were done in the same manner for the same reasons - in the hands of a fool the Wii is deadly.

Don't get me wrong, it is excellent that postage is free, but i think they would be in a bit of trouble if they made old customers pay for these.

Where is the wii serial number if you dont mind me asking?

Supernaut91 · 2 Oct 2007 at 16:17

punky_munky · 2 Oct 2007 at 16:36

It looks like it has a funny hair cut.

jklc · 2 Oct 2007 at 19:08

Mini Wiimote afro.. makes me think of Bishi Bashi

CocoPops · 2 Oct 2007 at 20:00

Ordered.

Cheers for the headsup!

There was also an email waiting from Nintendo to my Wii when I turned it on looking for serial number..... although it can't be read by software and you have to pull the Wii out of the cabinet.

While I think they look pretty crappy, I have to say fair play to Nintendo for offering older Wii owners the chance to order these instead of basically saying "screw you".

Ordered 2 anyway
