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

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

Duckie · 2006-12-20, 06:32 PM

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.

Nick Koan · 2006-12-20, 06:37 PM

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.

Duckie · 2006-12-21, 05:05 AM

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.

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!

M3n2c3 · 2007-03-25, 10:16 PM

They're still nearly impossible to find.

Double Phister · 2007-03-26, 07:38 AM

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

Nick Koan · 2007-04-10, 07:09 PM

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.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-04-10, 08:20 PM
