No more tangled up wires and it can be used up to 30 metres away! AMAZING!!!
Seeing as regular controllers from the us work fine on a pal machine, i really can't see any reason for the wavebird to be any differet.
Surprised by the no rumble feature though, the pad looks big enough to manage... then again, it'd need to receive information from the cube on when to rumble, so there would have to be a transmitter and receiver on both the controller and bit that fits into the front of the cube. Guess that was asking a bit much?
Ah well, seeing as i always turn rumble off anyway (never liked those stories about it messing up your wrists, plus i have dodgy fingers, and a recently broken thumb which, according to my doctor, is still in the strenghtening process for a couple more months).
Anyway, i always turn rumble off, so i guess when they're available in america, assuming the euro release isn't very soon after (lets be honest, there's no chance ¦0S), it'll be a trip to dvdboxoffice.
Actually, i might take a look now...

Won't that get in the way of the memory card port?
Does anyone know if USA wavebirds will work on UK gamecubes?
