Replacement straps replaced by replacement replacement straps

Nintendo has refined their Wiimote wrist strap design again, almost successfully removing all user responsibility for holding the controller. The newest revision has a locking clip that should keep the strap firmly in place. And if this doesn't work, it's time for Krazy Glue.It's currently unknown if Nintendo is willing to send these out for free as they did with the original replacements, or if these will only be included with new Wiimotes. But if your current strap isn't constantly sliding off your wrist, you don't really need one of the new ones! Unless you just really want it to be more belt-like.

Actually, I barely filled out my strap replacement form online a few weeks ago and they sent me these new ones.

I don't think they changed them because of this:

Yay! Just what i need. After every swing I have to adjust the stupid wiistrap, but this seems to fix that.

That's just great.
I just finished replacing my strap with the replacement strap. Now I have to replace my replacement strap with a replacement strap for my replacement strap I used to replace my strap.

WOW, you gotta be a total idiot to hav to replace these straps. I've had mine for soo long and I have never have to replace them. This is like saying the rumble in the PS2 controller is making it fly away.
Tip: Hold the controller. And not be an idiot.

I kind of want them. Because... I don't know. Just because.
