[quote name='geko29']You'll have to forgive me because my wii is new (and broken), but I still don't see the need. Just like my 360, whichever wiimote you turn on first is controller #1. Why do you need to tell them apart?[/quote]
Actually, that's a good point... i never have to know #1 or #2 for the Sixaxis. Once you press the PS button, it gets assigned automatically. Anyhow, i'm not certain the Wiimotes are setup this way? I only got one Wiimote at the moment, so i can't "test" this. My 2nd Wiimote is in the mail ($25 used), so i should be confirming this shortly.
Personally, i think the skins are a waste of money too. It doesn't make the Wimmote cooler and so what if the Wiimotes have scratches, it's not like it will stop functioning when it's all scratches up on the outside. Of course, if the Wiimote is not automatically assigned a number when it's used, then yes, the skin does serve the purpose of telling you which wiimote is #1 etc... But then again, you can do that with a "sticky" free sticker, post it (with tape), markers, or even different colored strap (hell, use the marker on the strap).
