Buy the Xbox Sniper Rifle. It's going back today. Almost unplayable unless you have the screen on full brightness. It picks up the laser only when the screen is on full brightness which makes the games unplayable. If it is not bright it won't pick it up and after spending time trying to get it to work I have given up, it really is an awesome piece of equipment that hasn't lived up to expectations. If they sorted the infa-red tracking out it could be such a promising set. Instead though it ended up being a very poor night playing with poorly executed hardware.

It was heavy with the arm rest, the scope and the rifle tip on but if it was going to work I would have put up with it though. However it didn't despite having everything else right. I am convinced they can make it work, they need to change the infa-red settings though so it can work with a darker screen.
Saw it in Gamestation the other day, looks cool but I'd imagine your arm would ache after long sessions with it.
Yes I'm talking about the sniper rifle you filthy boogers.

No it's not faulty, the item is crap. Only got it about 7 weeks a go, nothing wrong with it. If you check user reviews of the rifle they all have the same problem, it doesn't work without having your TV on the highest brightness setting.
I take it you've tried it on another TV? It could be faulty but it's unlikely!
I wasn't intending to get it.
Now I definately wont.
