wiibirth

Ok that was a pretty horrible title and I apologize.

I decided not to open up another Wiimote because I want to wait for Wii Play to be released which will come with a Wiimote. Then later they will be releasing colored Wiimotes, so I'm waiting for black, silver, and maybe blue. That way I won't have any extra Wiimotes laying around (or maybe just one). So since I am not opening up a Wiimote, I can't pull the ol' switcheroo on Wal-Mart to replace my broken one. I called Best Buy to try and get my remote replaced since I have a replacement plan and it's still under the manufacturer's warranty. No luck. The only way they'd be able to replace the remote is if I sent in the entire console, which is a no go. They suggested I call Nintendo about it, so that's just what I did, and after explaining my situation to the girl on the phone, she said they'd ship out a replacement remote to me in a few days along with a packing slip so I can send them my broken remote. It's all free of charge, so that's pretty sweet. It's perfect too, since my batteries died on my remote today. I'm kind of curious if the new remote will have the new, sturdier strap for retards or if it'll have the original strap. I'm hoping it has the old strap since that thing will be a collector's item since it was basically out for only a month. Hmm, maybe I should keep these unopened Wiimotes and sell them in 20 years on ebay for $99,999,999. I can picture the title now... NINTENDO WII REMOTE CONTROLLER W/ORIGINAL STRAP!!! VERY RARE!!!!!

Er, so anyway, I should get my new remote at the end of the week, just in time for the xmas break. Maybe I can finish Zelda or Oblivion (not likely) during that time.
