Three rear projection TVs suffer death by Wiimote
November 24, 2006 on 1:27 am | In TV Damage |Y’all look like you’re enjoying your new toy! Some of you are giving it EVERYTHING!

Yikes! We’ve now seen 3 (yes, three!) cases of cracked rear projection TV as a result of:
1. Playing the Wii Sports bowling game
2. Letting go of the whole Wiimote as if it was the bowling ball
3. Being let down by the ’safety’ strap (it ’snapped’)
4. RPTVs being covered with a relatively thin, crackable screen (as opposed to the thick glass tube in a good ol’ CRT)
Two were reported on Engadget, and the comments certainly made enlightening reading (especially as one contained the report of a third screen death, this time with the crack right in the middle of the screen - still an RPTV, still a broken strap, still playing the bowling game. That’s looking like a lethal combo).

Victim #1: Jon
