Try again after 24 hours. If you don't complete the order, it'll get purged.

Finally ordered mine as well as the free feather stylus for Zelda PH.
It's nice to get free stuff from Nintendo!

I forgot to mention that I got these bad boys in and I can say with much confidence that these things ROCK! They are very comfortable on the hands and definitely eliminate the worry of slip. They fit on the Wii remote perfectly and are definitely well made. I applaud Nintendo for these things, they did a great job with them and I am glad to have them on my Wii remotes.

I received an email yesterday informing me my jackets have shipped. I imagine I'll receive them before the end of the week.

Its really cool of Nintendo to give these out for free, but I suppose their actual cost couldn't be very much anyway.

BigJim is right. I tried to order them a few weeks ago and my computer froze as I was sending my info. After I restarted my computer and tried again, it said that my seriel number has been used. After not receiving the jackets, I tried again yesterday and it worked.

Does anyone know how I can get the latest wriststraps? I already got the 1st revision from Nintendo, but I want the wriststraps that have the lock because they r teh best.

I ordered 2 of the first kind and then got 2 of the lock kind from the same form. You can place multiple orders through the form, you'll get the most up-to-date kind each time, but you can only get a total of 4 per Wii Serial Number.

You're not... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[NeoThunder]

ok...i guess you can hit the power button, you just pressing down on rubber to do it

[MarioAllStar]

It even has a subtle groove around the outline of the power button.

I haven't played a game with them yet, but I like how these gloves are built. They are easy to install/remove and you don't have to fully remove them to replace the batteries. Buttons are still easy to press.

I got mine in the mail today and I think they are awesome. Very soft but provides a strong grip on the controller. I love the top of it. Its bulky but it adds protection and feels great when you are playing the controller in classic mode. It was very easy to slip the controller into it and very easy to take it out. Kudos on adding a cover for the nun chuck port for when you are not using it.

Best of all, it was free!

I still have yet to receive mine.  Placed my order for them around the beginning of October...  I wonder what's the hold up?

Did you get a confirmation email that they shipped it? I got an email about a week before my jackets arrived. I think you should have also.

If you didn't then maybe your order didn't go through or something, or maybe they ran out of supply.

I just noticed that down here in Aus Nintendo have already put these jackets in their commercials, the guy in the Prime 3 ad has one on his Wiimote

[chaingunsofdoom]

Got mine on Friday. The fit is great and I like them a lot after using 'em for a couple of hours. However, I found the added weight to be more noticeable than I thought it would be.
