Yeah. Seriously you have to be flinging it around like crazy for the strap to brake. MY neighbor almost broke mine

Noone is sending in their Wiimotes to Nintendo and there is no 'recall'. You just order them up from Nintendo's website and they send you one.

i made a contract for people(family..friends...people etc)
if you dont wear the strap you will be banned from playing wii for 7 days...
and if you throw it you are banned for 1 month(as long as there are no damages)
if you cause any damages from throwing...you have to pay for the damages and you are banned for ever!

I was shocked, and quite glad because I don't have a Wii yet. It would be a pain in the neck to have to send back the Wiimote and be "Wiimote-less" (unless you have an extra Wiimote) for a few days or a week possibly (if not more than that).

Eek!! Somone without a clue posted misinformation on an internet forum. Call the Internerd Police!

You don't make money off of a recall, you lose money.

I wonder how many straps have been ordered so far and what kind of impact does that have on nintendo. Shouldn't be much right?

Aliright, guys and gal.
YOU DON'T SEND ANYTHING BACK. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS CONTACT NINTENDO, AND THEY SEND YOU THE NEW STRAPS, FREE OF CHARGE.
Got it?
Is there a mod around that will lock this, please?

Who gives a shit :/.
Anyone who needs to order a new one is either someone who wants the strap anyway or someone who actually broke their remote.
Who cares, srsly; if someone died because of the Wiimote then I would care... but stupid retards thinking that if they put the utmost power into a swing or any other movement will make that much of a difference then they deserve to break their Wiimote along with their face.

Actually the number sold is closer to 2.2 million, and there are almost none in stores. I'm guessing the 3.2 million number is the number of WiiMotes sold with the original strap.
