Don't ask me... I just saw this on a different forum and thought it was rather funny.

Maybe the Wii comes with wrist straps?

Strap broke?

Looks like Nintendo will be buying this dude a new TV (if he sues)

Do they guarantee the wrist strap?

I dunno.
I'd think that since it failed that they might be accountable.  Thats only if used under the meant-for conditions, wonder if there is anything in the book about excessive wrist strap force

The guy who did it was probably a tard and was swinging it way too hard. Think of it this way.. not only was he swinging it hard enough to break the TV, he was swinging it hard enough that even after it slowed down by breaking the strap, it still managed to break the TV.

Yeah and bowling isn't a game where you need to swing the controller hard,it's also one where you have a pretty good grip.

Haha, my old boss has one of those bowling games that you get for $40.  He pretty much threw it out when he got his big screen TV.
