Yep, got a 404 error once... tried to do it again and got "you have exceeded blah blah" and now I can't order any. It never asked for my address or anything, so... I don't know what will happen.

Ward off class-action suits with their new Wii-Condom!

My 8yr-old daughter broke my 47" LCD playing Wii Tennis. To be fair to Nintendo, she has very skinny arms, and there was no way the strap would stay tight. She just barely grazed the LCD, but that was enough.

Ouch, sorry to hear that.

Could it be proof that the Wii is actually NOT intended for kids?

This is quite possibly the most important Wii add-on. Seriously. It's just another way to make dirty jokes about playing with our Wiis.

the sad part is this will probably make people suddenly run out and buy Wii's amidst losing this wide-spread non-informed non-gaming consumer fear that everyone with a Wii has a broken TV. You know, the people who get their gaming news from CNN.

Unbelievable. Why is this such a problem? Outside of little kids or people who have poor motor skills (as in a disability), why is any of this necessary? Wrist straps? "Jackets"? It's tragic, really.

Yeah, this really shouldn't have been a problem in the first place. If people just calmed the eph down while playing, (a) they wouldn't have let go of the remote and (b) if they did, it wouldn't have flown at enough force to snap the strap.

That all said... Oblong sleeves of silicone are nice when they're free.

That aside it's nice to get free stuff from Nintendo, and it's cool to get something for the Wiimote.

This is what happens when you put videogames infront of old people, girlfriends, and anyone else not weened on the sweet nipple of gaming since youth...they get overly excited, freak out, and start throwing wiimotes through walls/TVs/children.

Nintendo, the world was not ready for you to expand your audience, and no amount of jackets/improved straps/foam helmets/warning screens is going to change that. The masses just aren't ready to be playing with power

Bah, I went to place my order, and the window got an error, and now it tells me I have exceeded my limit for the serial number I entered. So I guess no sleeves for me. :(

I'm really heart broken about this.

How many people could be hammering their web site? You think there are a hundred thousand wii owners reading a late night joystiq post and they all decided to flock there at once? The website was moving fast, it just errored.

This also reminded me to get them to delete my old wii's serial number so that I can enter the replacement's #. Damn graphical glitches!

Wow, earlier I was making cracks about a silicone dildo cover for the Wii remote. Now there actually is one. And from Nintendo, at that.

There's already 3rd party 'jackets' for Wii, as well as little sticky pads to stick on the back and side of the Wii-mote to get grip. However, Nintendo is now proving these things.

However, what's the point of these? To make you grip better? To protect the Wii-mote or whatever it's about to smash into? Seems pretty poor foresight that Nintendo didn't just add a grippy-part to the actual remote, like the battery compartment is made of rubber or something. But whatever...

I already have 4 third party condoms. I gots black, blue, green (ribbed), and hot pink. But these do look better with that weird bulbous head.

Free swag or not, its ass ugly...it takes away the entire smooth asthetic look of the Wiimote...just like the idiots who wrap their iPods in 3 layers of silicone skins.

Good news, now when if fly's out of my hand it won't tear it up, just whoever it hits. ;)

Don't forget, this product has already been out, just not for free and available in many different colors.

I dunno what kind of message Ninty is trying to send?

"Our products are so inherently dangerous we don't trust you to use them"??

I think next they should make a Wii "safety", where the wiimotes lock to the console, and in order to use them 4 people must insert and turn 4 different keys simultaneously.

And if you thought that's bad, wait till you hear that the keys each have a 24 digit friend code.
