It's strange but, the way I hold the remote, my fingers very conveniently cover up the battery cover making this impossible. I checked the kid's hand and, yes, he did have fingers...

and with the 360's obvious faults and breakdowns, they not only lose money on replacing them, they have also had their share of lawsuits over RROD and scratched discs.
in the end, ps3 is idiot proof and that is why i beleive ps3 will last longer than both of them.

But I've never once had a strap break on me, old or new.
I wonder what's wrong with these people to make their straps snap, even the newer ones with stronger stands.

Seriously, there have been more "wrist-strap" lawsuits than RROD lawsuits. Only in AMERICA

And yes...that remote has slipped from my hand more than once. That strap is durable. I can't imagine what it's taking to break these.

That's called a counter-suit.

Of course, the whole thing has gotten abused by now, and it's going to be harder to change because trial lawyers are a major lobbying force in Washington.

But then, I guess this is what you get when your target audience is...finish this thought however you please.

No, then they'd be sued for the obvious risk flinging their remotes around caused without some kind of restraint to stop them.

It's no different from regular controllers.
"zomg i veered my sixaxis remote into my sibling's face and broke his nose sue sue sue!"
