Wii quit: Taiwanese company making LCD shield

Looking for the perfect gift for the man who has everything, but still wants the world to know that he's a clumsy bastard? Allow us to introduce the Wii shield, a big, dumb piece of plastic that protects LCDs from 30" to 46" from flying Wiimotes. We assume it would protect from other things too (God knows we're totally throwing a TiVo remote if Blake loses tonight) but we're a gaming site, so let's just roll with it.

Ready to buy one? Well, you can't, and not just because we'll punch you in the face if you try. Taiwanese manufacturer LCDArm isn't selling them yet, thought they promise Gearlog that they're on the way, much to the delight of sweaty-palmed gamers with cash (and dignity) to burn.

[Thanks, Brigham]

blake? psh, melinda should of won. The show is rigged!

also: when I said in the wiihealthy thread that leg warmers were the most pointless thing, I was wrong. This totally takes the cake.

I'd get one just to keep my kids from touching the screen.

I never watched A.I. until Sanjaya was on it. When he was "voted off", I stopped watching.

I hope there's no glare on the plastic sheild.

What the hell are you all talking about?

Nintendo markets a pretty cheap alternative to this. It's called a wrist strap.

Hydralisk456: May 23rd 2007; 3:05PM

Use the damn wrist strap people! What a useless peripheral.

Dale: May 23rd 2007; 3:21PM

Lipless, so bland he even makes the guy from Maroon 5 sound interesting Blake? What is wrong with you people?

Ghen: May 23rd 2007; 3:30PM

I've watched every year of Idol except this one.. There's just no one to root for, they all stink.

Shagittarius: May 23rd 2007; 3:43PM

Now all they need to make is a toilet guard that keeps you from flushing your cash down the toilet when you buy Nintendo products.

Yea, I said it.

Matt B: May 23rd 2007; 3:59PM

LMAO Shag!!!!!XD

NvM: May 23rd 2007; 4:20PM

I haven't heard one thing about TV's breaking since the wrist-strap replacement.

Hirsbrunner: May 23rd 2007; 4:20PM

@Shag I was beginning to think we were going to make it a whole day w/out someone making some jackass-troll comment.

Looks like you prevented that.

Yeah, I said it.

Kye: May 23rd 2007; 6:00PM

Must be a US thing, I haven't heard a whisper of Wiijuries in the UK

Silversmith: May 23rd 2007; 9:41PM

you guys are gay. I Jordin is hot piece of a$$ and yes the product is stupid

I've got a better idea: stop developing games that make you to throw the controller.
