The flying, slippery Wii-mote has accounted for many broken TV sets. So, just like the Wii, even protective Wii-mote straps have been in huge demand. But imagine if your TV was strong enough to withstand any Wii-mote strikes, you could then indulge in your favorite Wii games wholeheartedly without worrying about accidentally damaging your expensive TV. Panasonic has unveiled a new line of plasma TVs that are Wii-proof.

Panasonic exhibited its upcoming products at its HD Networking Conference in Valencia, Spain and the Wii-proof plasmas were among the products showcased. Panasonic claims that the plasmas can resist up to 4 joules of energy, which is enough to protect it from a flying Wii-mote unless it is purposely thrown with great force.

It does make sense to take all precautionary measures you need to protect your TV from a Wii-mote’s fury. In case, you are looking to buy a plasma TV then do give the new Panasonic plasmas a thought. However, there is no need for you to bid farewell to your old TV and specially opt for the Wii-proof ones, instead buy a protective strap for the Wii-mote.

In a move that represents the good kind of customer service, Microsoft and Bungie have fixed the “Rule of Three” fiasco that accompanied the Crackdown/Halo 3 Beta launch. Due to an unforeseen glitch in the system, many of the players that put in the time and effort to secure a Halo 3 Beta code by playing Halo 2 according to Bungie’s Rule of Three program and didn’t receive them have had their Beta codes re-sent.

Just a quick refresher on the Rule of 3. Halo 2 players were required to play at least three hours of multiplayer over Xbox Live over a three day period and then be one of the first 13,333 people to register at Halo3.com.

If you were one of the unlucky ones to not receive your Beta key, be sure to check your e-mail inbox as well as the section that handles your spam just to be sure. If the code doesn’t show up in either of these cases, give a call to Microsoft customer support ( 1-800-4MYXBOX ) and they should be able to walk you through getting your code. If you do happen to call, say hello to my “Good Buddy” Max. He’s a good guy who only wants the best for you and your XBox. Good Luck and I hope to see you fragging foes on Xbox Live.
