    Well they give you a strap to attach to your wrist, but it gets quite uncomfortable (I find) when you're playing for an extended period of time. The thing is, it may not seem like it's that easy to drop, but once you get all excited when you're playing, and your hands start sweating, it is actually quite easy to slip out of your hand.

    Unless you got it super tight it shouldn't be uncomfy. It actually is quite hard to drop them

    EB Games here has them on display, but the Wiimotes and Nunchuks are locked up, and you're not allowed to play it.. I guess it's a safety precaution or something? Unless they're just being mean :(

    we have had a wii now for 6 weeks or so. what a console.
    i havent had much of a play of it myself, but have had a play on wii sports, and that was great fun.
    we have got zelda for it as well, but not had time to play it yet. our boy says it is great though, so will maybe hi-jack it off him sometime soon and get a shot at it lol.

    Yeah, I'm having troubles finding Wii's as well. They are pretty low in stock. They are amazingly fun though, the fitness tests are the best.

    There are many stores that have them. Try futre shop, EB games, wal mart, toysrus, and any other store. I tried many stores before I found one.

    I'm guessing itll be until summer before you can walk in and pick one up like you can the xbox360 and ps3. summers always the slowest time of the year for gaming.

    nah, kids get out of school and go outside during the summer. well thats the logical explanation. the real explanation lies in the declining console game sales during that quarter.
