Here is a good link regarding the strength of the strap.

Quite a bit of weight is needed to break the original straps.

Not a very good test of its strength. I can stand on top of an egg and it wont brake, but if I drop it 2 feet it will. I for one think the class action suit is BS but depending on how they word the actual case they might be winning.

I know what you are saying about weight versus force (which I improperly used above originally), but can you really stand on an egg without breaking it? That I would like to see.

Actually anyone under 250 pounds can do it. Since I weigh in at 145 (damn me being sick and losing weight) I should be safe. My friend did it at a party and explained it actually wasnt too hard and that anyone under 250ish should be able to do it.

:cry: :manatee:

I'd like to see this as well. I'm sure it might be possible, but you'd have to stand on the exact top center of the egg. I think finding the right spot would be tough with a big clumsy foot.

As they say "No pic == didn't happen"

He said it won't brake, he didn't say it wouldn't break. Sheesh, you guys will fall for anything! :P

But I read it on the Internet! It MUST be true!!!!!

:lol: We've been PWNT!!! OH NOES!!!

very nice :D

I still want a wii are they available yet?




I'm gonna look for that availability site...

They're still nearly impossible to find.

I stood in line for two hours yesterday and would have got one if I was two people closer to the front.

Doh, my Wii is kind broken. I'm seeing all sorts of artifacts on the screen in every mode. A little googling and searching on other forums brought me to this

Looks like the graphic processor overheated on accident :(

Now I just gotta contact Nintendo Customer Service and see what to do about some warranty work.

Stinky.
