For better health(?): The Wiimote/DS Far Infrared wrist strap |
Ó
Aside from Nintendo, it looks like even 3rd-party accessory manufacturers are cashing in on the Wii's health benefits. Japan's Rakuten retailer has just sent out details on a Wiimote and Nintendo DS wrist strap made from bio-ceramics that, as advertised, will douse your wrist with far infrared rays.From what we're reading from some sources (i.e., health sites, shopping catalogs), far infrared energy promotes several health benefits, such as improved circulation, and increased white blood cell count.
This, in turn, could mean improved immune functions, and in the Wiimote's case, a less likely chance you'll sprain your wrist from playing too long.
We're not too sure if this accessory really works (or is FDA-approved), but if you're curious enough to test this new-age peripheral, it's expected to launch in Japan on July 20, at a retail price of just ¥ 740 (US$ 6.31).

So when do we get the add on that grants eternal life?
WOW, Gamestop is already advertising the new SIXAXIS controller, turns out every time you tilt the controller towards you it cures AIDS, and every time you tilt it away from you an angel gets its wings, and Bill Gates dies!
What a load of bollocks.
IR is warmth. This strap warms your wrists so they dont strain. Even for a fifth grader, this was a terrible story. ***** QJ.
