    I can't type well, because my right index finger is bandaged up after I got four stitches on a cut that went to the bone,

    I was playing Wii Tennis at my brother's house (which has a low ceiling) and did an overhead serve, and it was a very intense game so was going all out - anyways, my hand hit the ceiling light and shattered the glass cover all over my brother's floor - not to mention the blood that went all over his kitchen floor.

    Anyways - it's hard to type...so I'll leave it at that, I got pwn3d by the Wii.

    Don't blame the 'Wii'... blame the 'Mii'.

    cuz it makes you unconscious of your surroundings, and it (the controller) broke the light and my hand followed through - causing injury.

    simply put - this injury would never happen with a normal hand-held controller.

    I still love the Wii...but my College Basketball season might see a little more of me on the bench nursing injury than I had hoped.

    Since it is different shouldn't that make you more aware of your surroundings?

    Perhaps you should realize its just a simulator and you're not really at center court.

    So when you spill hot coffee on yourself you got from McDonalds its their fault. When you are unaware of your surroundings after knowingly buying a motion-sensor controller its......

    HAHA...you blame this on the wii? it made you swing hard without being conscious of your surroundings. HAHA, another frivolous lawsuit! I ought to sue fruit of the loom because their small size boxer constricted my balls and made my testicles hurt for a month :rolleyes: ALTHOUGH NO ONE TOLD ME TO PUT IT ON!!!!!!!

    My point being..get yourself a gameboy (the original)

    Judging from the average gamers mentality I would say... BLAME THE PS3!

    You are actually not the first person this has happened to. I read that someone did almost the same thing, only it was on their follow through when they were playing bowling.

    first of all, you guys are ridiculous for swinging so hard.. i could beat you just sitting down.. it's all about the timing... very little is speed.
