Considering that if the controlleer slipped it would go flying into the nice, big flat screen tv, or smash the pretty lights in the rumpus room... I would much rather wear the wriststrap.

It depends on how or what I am playing. WHen I am just messing around in Wii sports with my friends, I don't wear it. If we are serious about playing it, I do. If I am playing a single player game by myself, I do. Sometimes it is a spur of the moment kind of thing.

Depends on the game. Zelda doesn't really need it but Wii Boxing sure as hell does.

I think the wrist strap is intended for retards or kids under 6

If that were true then kids under six are a tad smarter than you.I think real idiots are the people who think it's uncool. Why? It does an important job. I'm not so worried about my tv more about my cat, my face and anyone else who may be in the room.
