Wii - Remote Jacket.

If you have a Wii you should have had the blue disc slot flashing blue this morning.

If not, the news is that Nintendo is releasing a new silicone jacket to help cushion Wii remotes. This has been designed to protect the controller if you accidentaly hit something during a frantic gaming session as well as protecting the furniture/person that you hit.

The Wii jackets are being shipped to retailers as we speak and should be on the shelves by about halfway through this month. If you're already a Wi owner you can order up to 4 jackets online for free. All you need to do is go here fill in your details along with the serial number of your Wii (found on the bottom of the console) and Nintendo will ship them out to you ASAP.
