cfc, i totally agree with you. I for one have now played well over 60 hours of the Wii and haven't even come close to losing grip. I've had my mum, cousins, fiance, and brother/sister in law play the Wii for extended periods also. They've never had an issue either.

If you show a modicum of respect and sensibility, then the issue just won't raise it's head IMHO.........

I heard that for Australia, if you bought a Wii that was on the shipment from December 1st onwards - you own the new strap.
