Your HDTVs, patio doors, and indoor pets may now rest peacefully. Reacting to the problems of Wii remotes flying out of users' hands, Nintendo is offering a more sturdy strap replacement.

Address: Wii Wrist Strap, Nintendo Service Centre, CoDEStorm House, Walton Road, Farlington, PO6 1TR

    For anyone in the UK that doesn't realize; National Rate = Absolute Fortune. They could have had the decency to set up something online in places other than the US and Canada.
