Just curious as to what you guys do when playing, I personally use both when I play regardless of the game.

Personally I don't. I bought my system at launch and never bothered getting the condom things, and I know how to hold onto a controller.

However, I make sure my 8 year old nephew has his on tight when he's flinging the controller at the expensive HDTV.

I use the wrist strap, but the jackets seem excessive. On top of that, if you're using the wii remote in the Guitar Hero controller or the Zapper, it'd be a pain in the butt to take on and off. Plus, they really do look like condoms.

No I don't use them. They are more annoying then they are helpful to me. Most games you don't even have to worry about flinging the Wiimote. I never liked how the Wii Jackets felt and they were a pain to take on and off. The straps are useless for me and I don't like to bother putting it on and it's annoying if it's hanging there and gets in the way so I took them off as well. Both are unnecessary and are just proactive measures by Nintendo so they can't get sued.

And what do you propose you do when your 8 year-old nephew asks about your jacket and strap? ;)

I use both, that's what they're there for and intended for so no accidents occur :);)

I use the jacket because it's soft and easy to hold on to, plus it's too much work to take it off every time my sister puts it on so she can play Wii Sports.

I only use the wrist strap in Madden 08, because that game requires quick movements and the strap gets flung around if I'm not wearing it.

I never use the straps, and I haven't gotten my jackets yet.
