hi guys took this from another site i use but im sure it will be of interest to many here



The Wii Remote Jacket, a durable, silicone cover for the Wii Remote, provides a variety of benefits for the player. Nintendo will include the Wii Remote Jacket with all Wii hardware systems and with all Wii Remotes sold separately or packaged with Wii Play. Hardware featuring the Wii Remote Jacket will begin shipping to retailers from October 2, 2007 and is expected to be on retail shelves from mid-October, 2007.

The Wii Remote Jacket provides a cushioning effect if the Wii Remote accidentally strikes a person or object or is accidentally dropped or thrown. Use of the Wii Remote Jacket is meant to supplement, not replace, the basic gameplay instructions: keep a firm grip, don’t let go of the controller, use the wrist strap and make sure your play area is free of people or objects.

The Wii Remote Jacket also serves as a cover for the Wii Remote, and has been designed to be added and removed easily, in case users want to slip their Wii Remote into an accessory like the upcoming Wii Zapper. Nintendo recommends players use the new Wii Remote Jacket as a cushiony shield, though the current Wii Remote is a safe product when used properly.

Current Wii owners who want to equip their Wii Remotes with the new Wii Remote Jacket free of charge can click here to fill out the request form.

For some reason, it won't accept my wii serial though it is the correct number, saying it may have been used. I don't think so, we bought it new:eek: :eek: :eek: wonder what is wrong?

Lots of serial numbers on show on fleabay auctions.:rolleyes: Try entering one of those with the number 1 at the end or whatever number is shown at the end of your serial number. That worked for me. Sneaky I know, but I do genuinely have a Wii which I got from Toys r us for my friends kids (she asked me to get it and won't let me try it out which I think is really inconsiderate!).

Hope this helps those of you having problems (and yes I know it's naughty).
