Free Wii Anti-Slip Jackets
« on: October 02, 2007, 12:44:38 AM »
Nintendo is officially providing Wii owners with antislip gloves in a similar fashion to the Wii-Strap replacement. If you go here you can input your Wii serial number and request up to 4 remote jackets, which will be shipped to you for free starting October 15!
Check out PixlBit!

They have to be the lamest Wiimote covers I've ever seen, and I'm counting the tie-dye ones in that statement.

They look really stupid. They also would be a huge pain in the ass for using my Nyko Charge Station. Who are these people that sweat so much they're dropping the Wiimote? Turn on the A/C or wear a wrist band or something. I've never dropped my Wiimote.

NYKO sucks...

Anywhoo, these are supposedly designed to be pretty easy to slip on and off... This way, you can put your controller into the Zapper/Guitar/Steering wheel easier...

They may be the ugliest, but they're also the free-est too. How can you guys argue with free??

Anyway, sure, they're ugly, but they're free. I don't see how this is a bad thing.

I wish someone would find a way to sue them so bad that they could only get out of it by offering demo discs/channels

~$20million spent on these yet Brawl still uses friend codes and includes a worthless 3rd party character.

To anybody with big hands... take advantage of this offer.  I just bought my Wii on friday, so it came with the jacket, and the controller is much more comfortable with the jacket on.  I can reach all the buttons easier withought have to grip the controller as tightly.  Very ergonomic, and not as ugly as you guys say it is.

I screwed this up.  I was able to input my serial number, but when I got to the screen where I input my address, the form didn't appear.  I think it's because I was using Safari.  Then, I try to use Firefox, but it said my serial number had already been used.  Damn.

Huh. I was apathetic about this and too lazy to dig up the Serial Number, but I just ordered them after reading this post. Thanks
