Tech Thursday: Win a Wii at Newegg!

113006blogwiimote_1Oh, the Wii. It's rarer than a Loch Ness Monster sighting. Rarer, even, than a sashimi dinner.

Lots of people want a Wii but simply can't find one. In desperate times like these, it's time to let go of your pride and try your luck at a Wii giveaway. Our friends at Newegg are giving away 2 Wiis! All you have to do is fill out a brief form, and you're entered. The contest starts today and ends on February 22nd.

Be forewarned- playing Wii can be hazardous! As a Kiwi news source said,

Just be careful not to get too carried away, because it's all too easy for the Wii-mote to slip out of a sweaty palm. It comes with a wrist strap but some people have got so carried away the straps have broken and the Wii-mote has gone flying, breaking lamps, dishes and 42-inch plasma TVs.

Nintendo recently issued a recall on Wiimote wrist straps. To order the new, reinforced version, simply fill out this form.

I recommend getting one! Wii Sports really unleashes your inner Rocky.

I am not sure what they're called, but they are rubber and go over your wii remote. It definitely helps to keep the remote in your hand while playing wii sports. I would recommend picking them up.

Yeah, those are great. I've got one in pink and another in black.

My 6 year old wasn't wearing the wrist-strap and she cracked our TV... not a BAD crack, but enough that you can see it if you look.

In other words, JUST enough to justify buying a new HDTV! :)

I want to win a wii!

I think the wii be a great physical exercise

The Wii is great exercise if you want it to be. You have to have a big enough room because you'll end up jumping around, so be careful not to break anything!
