A few weeks back, I reported about how several people have managed to damage their televisions thanks to broken Wii-mote wrist straps. Since then, Engadget and Joystiq have reported on a number of similar cases.
Now someone’s put together a website cataloguing these incidents. It’s called Wii Have A Problem and incidents so far include a broken window, a broken laptop and even a broken PDA.
I’m slightly skeptical about just how many of these accidents are due to Nintendo’s rather weak looking wrist straps and how many are due to people either being silly or just not holding on to the remote properly. I will reserve my judgement until I have a Wii-mote in my own hands.

The wii definitely rocks. I just can’t wait until mario cart comes out.
Imaging using one hand to drive the cart and use wii remote on the other hand to throw weapon….LOL
