    Wii need a Wii to start playing some Wii games in the Wii hours of the night. Using our new Wiimote, Wii might not go that far to break Wii TV....

    You cannot throw a remote control at any tv screen and break it, use unnu peanut brains. I have seen TVs fall off cabinets face first and not break, I have thrown soda bottles at broken tv's and they bounced off.

    The wimote weighs like about as much as a boiled egg.

    " think it's safe to assume the claim that the strap broke is legitimate, and it depends on what kind of TV it is whether or not it'll do any damage. A CRT - there's NO way to break one of those with anything short of a hammer. My friend once punched his TV as hard as he could, and broke nearly every bone in his hand :"
