Now this certainly didn't come with my system, but I do appreciate being patronized so that I won't be inspired to sue! It's gotten positively snarky compared to the system manual. I'm supposed to dry my hands if they become moist? Can't they at least include a leather chamois? With a little Wii logo stitched in the corner? Hey, there's an after-market!
Hmph. I bet Reggie's hands never get sweaty.
For those keeping score at home, the actual model number of the straps hasn't changed. Both the new and old are stamped RVL-018. I haven't followed through with the urge to cut one open and check for wire filament. My brother could identify the difference in weight and weave of the cord on sight.
Hopefully this little improvement saves many an appliance and some lawyers a lot of trouble. But I feel scolded for something I knew already and never did.
