Nintendo sending out free remote jacket for wii

http//www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp[]http//www.nintendo.com/consumer/jacket/jacketrequest.jsp

Go to the above link and enter your wii's serial#. I read on joystiq that it might be better to wait a day or two before ordering, as people are probably hammering the site. They start sending these out on October 15 so no need to rush.

It looks kinda funny

If it's free I'm in!!

Thanks for the heads up. BTW, what is the use of a WiiMote Jacket?

I think it's so that if you throw your wiimote at your TV/window/friend it will be squishy when it hits.

Ugh, I should have waited. I got a blank page when I submitted the form and now it won't let me order again, and I didn't get to the part where I give them my address. lisighli.

This reminds me... I still have to send back my wii to get repaired

Same thing happened to me JennyWren. I called them and they said it's happening to a lot of people and to just wait 48 hours and see if you get a confirmation e-mail (some go through anyways, and some don't). If you don't get that e-mail within 48 hours, try to order online again. If it won't let you still, give them a call, and they can manually order them for you over the phone. No biggie. )

I wouldnt mind having these, but I got the WiiMote charger, so I'd have to take them off to charge them.

Early versions of the wii are showing signs of "vertical static lines" while playing games... it's a result in a flaw in the processor I guess... they sent me a pre paid label to send the wii back to them to get repaired, I've just been to lazy to send it out.

Can we get one for each remote? or just one per wii?

Isn't that from wiiconnect24 overheating the console without any fans for too long or leaving the console on for days? I never heard it necessarily had to do with the early consoles. Do you have a link?

When I used to leave wiiconnect24 on it would heat the wii like crazy so I always shut it off. They've since fixed this with a firmware update by having the fan turn on in wiiconnect24 mode.

No, this is not due to leaving the wii on wiiconnect24. It has to do with the processor from some of the first wii's.

So do you have a link then? I'd like to know because I have an early wii. There are plenty of places that blame it on the wiiconnect24 overheating the chip. Did you leave wiiconnect24 on since you got yours?

I can go on and on... Artifacting comes from GPU problems obviously but in this case it comes after use so heat is most likely the culrpit isn't it? I never read of someone having this problem right out of the box.

Sweet ordered mine.

me too!

/me shrugs, I'm at work so I can't pull links. Perhaps your correct that the heat causes the gpu to over heat??

Anyways i just shipped my wii to them via ups.

And thx, i'm in for these wii sleeves
