Nintendo announces free Wii Remote Jacket (Condom)

Quote:

Nintendo just let us know about the Wii Remote Jacket, a grippy silicon sleeve that wraps around your Wiimote, ensuring it remains firmly in your grasp instead of lodged in the skull of a nearby loved one. Now, before you accuse Nintendo of climbing aboard the Wii-peripheral junk bandwagon, we should let you know how serious they are about the Wii Remote Jacket: they're giving the things away for free!

Bundled with hardware like the Wii console, Wii remotes, and Wii Play (which of course comes bundled with a free Wiimote) shipping to retailers on October 2nd, the Wii Remote Jacket should be available with those products as early as October 15th. Already got a Wii with an armada of Wii Remote missiles that need cushioning? Go to nintendo.com, or call 1-866-431-8367 to place your order (note: you can order 'em now, but the free sleeves won't ship until the week of October 15). Just punch in your console's serial number (what, you don't know it by heart?) and order up to four sleeves for your Wiimote collection.


To me its more like a condom but as long as its free and I can get 4 of them, it pretty much is floating my boat XD. I'm gonna order mine asap.

Yeah so what do you guys think?

My brother read this yesterday on the wii update, he told me and we ordered them today XD. I like it how they are giving this stuff for free, but I think it would be better off if they included the wii strap advance and the grip on release. :P

Agreed it would have saved all those precious T.V's that were lost. I ordered them today too! =P Roger & Mike are the only ones left!
