That's a whole lot of straps to replace.

I find it fucking hilarious for some reason. But I'm wondering what an increased thickness of .4 millimeters is really going to do, since when people throw the thing on accident, they THROW it.

Now Nintendo can wash it´s hands from all this.

I'll still find it hilarious to see impaled TV sets and walls.

I'll test this shit. I'll find out where I can get my replacement, then I'll get some people together and see if anybody can break it by throwing it. I don't think it's possible.

edit: wow it broke... I was tugging on it a little (maybe 15 pounds of force) and it broke... it came undone where the strap meets the plastic attachment to the thicker band. what a bitch.
