Though we sympathize with the plights of both of the gentlemen in the commercial, we feel compelled to remind them: Wrist straps, guys. Wrist straps are the answer.

A video game-themed commercial for a non-video game service that is actually ACCURATE? Bonus points!

Are those 360 controllers painted red and what are they using as a console in the glass A/V case under the TV? Its painted red as well but I couldn't tell what it was.

Wii sports does have 1:1
Next Gen graphics... not so much.
In any case you're a toolbox.

For the Record Wii sports only has 1:1 mapping in baseball before the ball is pitched. I.E. When theres no gameplay.

I don't like having to strap myself to my controller just to play a game, so I don't. You don't need to if you can just barely manage to grasp the idea that you *should not let go of the controller whilst swinging it* and behave accordingly.

Oh I think the wrist strap is incredibly important on the Wii. Even though I don't mean to let go, I've had it try to fly out of my hands a couple times. The wrist strap saved me. I always insist that other people use the wrist strap when they play my Wii.

Great commercial.
I remember once I got upset and tried to throw my wiimote on the bed.
It just swung.
That broke my mood and I had to laugh at myself.
Good times.

Although they were fake controllers, it shows how awkward it would be to use a traditional shaped controller (like the SIXAXIS) for Wii-like motions.
