(look at the pic its awsome^^ in the link above)
The guy who posted this made his entry on December 2. That's the same day as the console launch, and in less than a day's time, his son managed to smash their TV's liquid display. The guy who posted the picture was able to phone in the repair shop and got an estimate of ¥ 200,000 (that's roughly US$ 1,740.73, jeezus!) to fix the screen.
If Nintendo hasn't emphasized enough the safety information on handling the Wiimote, then may we take this opportunity to stress it once again.
- Wear the wrist strap
- Hold it firmly
- Give yourself plenty of room
We're sorry for being redundant here, but hey! We know what it feels like when you've busted up a TV screen. Now, here's an open question. Anyone here think that there's going to be more reports from Japan of shattered/cracked TVs? Raise your hands!
