I noticed that while the controllers are shiny, and attractive....with that "oh, touch me" glossy look, they seem to collect alot of "hand gunk".

Maybe I just need to wash my hands more often, but my Wii seems to be dirty....alot

haha if they're doing that, I'd worry more about cleaning yourself, not the console :P

my stuff is always clean, the wii needs an occasional dusting but that's all

Same for me. When I'm playing a really intense game and my hand starts sweating that's when I kinda need to clean the remote after I play. I'm not sure if it's actually your hands being dirty, I think it just might be when you sweat.
