Apparently, we already have the sturdier straps. So quit your whining!
And stop throwing your damn remotes at the TV when you get a Double Bogey in Golf!

I reckon if anyone is stupid enough to break their straps and the remote ends up in their tv screens or through a window then they deserve everything they get. It's really got me stuffed how those things could possibly happen, i mean where are these people's brains? Well that's pretty obvious and that's in their arse and it's these halfwits that give the system a bad name through their stupidity.

The bottom line is if the remotes are used in the way they're meant to be used then not only would the strap not break, but your remote won't end up flying out of your hand and into your tv.

1. Tighten the strap
2. HOLD ON to the remote
3. Don't swing any harder than what you have to which is not very hard at all.

It's pretty simple i reckon.

I think we only got the new straps with Wii Play, and NOT with the actual console included Wiimote.

the string bit on my controllers does look different, the controller that came with the console isnt as thick as the wii play one.

The strap on the wiimote that came with the original controller is strating to fray as well, anyone elses

also has anyone washed the straps(just the strap not the wiimote)mine are getting dirty but not sure now they will hold up
