If you had the choice between the official GameCube pad (colour doesn't matter) and the WaveBird wireless controller (again, colour doesn't matter), which would you choose and why???
Many of you will probably say the wireless as the wires cannot get tangled and so that more people can sit around you for a four player game, without pulling the leads out or pulling the console.
But surely you'd get a similar effect if you just brought a pair of cable-extenders?? That's what i'm gunna do, i'm not too sure about wireless pads??
So I won't go for the wireless pads, i'm sticking with the official ones. Maybe i'll import some to save money?? When I have money of course!
What would you choose between and why??

the wire less ones , because :
1) they are official
2) they look good
3) i hate cables
4) i dont mind not having a rumble feature
5) i will keep the non wireless ones aswell , so that i can play with wires again , or if i run out of batteries for the wireless ones , and have run out of replacement ones.

I would choose the official pads all the time quite simply because I dont trust third party products - Ever since I got an unofficial memory card for PSX and for some reason it deleted all my game saves and wouldnt work after!!
I dont think the Wave Bird is avalible at launch
the wireless ones ARE OFFICIAL ! they're not 3rd party.
it should be out pretty soon in japan , so it should come out maybe a month or so after the UK launch (maybe ???)

In that case I would choose the wireless one - More convenient!!

Battery power's annother reason why I won't get a Wavebord pad. I've also never really used a wireless one before, and i've heard you have to keep them roughly in-line with the controllers sockets, or else it won't work??
I'll stick with 4 pads with leads, and maybe get some cable-extenders too. I tend to move the pad around quite a bit, especially in racers and fast paced games.
And Indian Dude Y2K, have you posted your GC pad review in the reviews section for the pad??
