Anyone bought the kid's (or themselves) a Wii for Christmas?

This is quite funny really Nitendo are blaming it on people using it wrong, and have issued instructions on how to use the controller properly.

So instead of fixing the problem they are trying to blame the users, why not just make a new cord that does not break so easily

They've made a new cord. Apparently Wiis shipped in December have the new cord, but everyone else can ask Nintendo for a free replacement.

Makes one wonder why it was not tested properly the 1st time around, should have been prepared for the wear & tare of a heavy handed user, after all its a Health & Safety Issue

My kids would just be happy to get hold a a Wii - dodgy controllers or not.

They have been saving their birthday and Christmas money since August - but Wii's are about as easy to find as a copy of OK magazine without Jordan in it.
