Forgotten and Unseen Electronics Part 21

A lot of accessories have been made for the wii since it came out. This is the weirdest one I have found. It's a bowling ball to help you out in Wii Sports or other bowling games. I could see this causing a lot more accidents than the Wii Remote did. You can buy one here:

I love the Wii, but the accessory remotes are just out of hand. The only one I ever use is the steering wheel, and only b/c it was free with a game. On a slightly different subject, I think just the fact that it has a wrist strap prevents lawsuits. I found out the hard way to always use the wrist strap when my 5 year old son tossed the remote at my head.

I think the attached speaks for itself -- and this poor schmoe didn't even have a remote shaped like a bowling ball! (Bet this was a *COSTLY* line of bowling!) http colon //failblog dot org/2009/01/19/wii-fail-2/
