Substituting candles for the sensor bar.

Very interesting. A friend told me he did this yesterday, and I didn' t believe him. All the sensor bar does is put out some IR, which you could in theory get from candles, I just never expected it to actually work.

the whole of central London, a month later, we experienced bombing attacks...

Imagine how they could' ve reduced production costs buy removing the sensor-bar and just add this to the instruction manual

" Place some candles on top of your television set.
*candles sold separately. Consult your nearest candle store for more information on candles."

And then they could sell Special Wii Sensor Candles in stores.

" Umm, I' d like a couple if Wii sensor candles please!"

I think anythink that gives of an IR signal can be used as a Wii sensor bar substitute. Even a Christmas tree full of lights seems to do the trick, although you would need to get 2 of them other wise your gonna have problems.
