Hang on a minute.... how the hell is it like the X-box's pad!????

Yes, it does look slightly bigger than the original wired one, but it's still not even half the size of the X-box pad, surely!

I don't think i'll get a Wireless pad, as I don't reckon it'll be that good, and you can just get extension cables to solve the same long-distnace problem. And the fact that it ruins on batteries is also bad - I use enough on my GBA!

first of all the wirless one will be about £5 more than the normal wired controls.

Secondly , it's not a gadget , it's a wireless control.

3rdly , it looks good in it's silver colour , and will probably come out in more colours later on.

4thly , that compaqrtment in the centre where the batteries and the electronics go , will most likely not affect how the control feels , it will a little bit , but you will get used to it.

5thly , it will never be like the xbox control , as the xbox's one is just a lump of un moulded plastic , the wavebird , is moulded like the normal control , and so will be comfortable.

6thly , why does every one think that the damn thing isn't official , it's from and made by NINTENDO !! meaning that it is an official product like the normal control , if your gonna talk about the normal control, then call it the NORMAL CONTROL , as it really bugs me !

I agree with edgy!

The Wavebird controller is the same as the controller we are use to seeing except it is filled in at the bottom. Knowing Nintendo, it will still be as comfortable as the orignial cube controller!

It will have a switch where it is filled in to switch it on and a receiver in the controller port. It looks amazing! I think I will end up buying one. If it is good, I'll buy a couple more.

You've got to really try it before you can decide not to like it. The xbox controllers are absolutley massive, not only that, the games are hard to control, especially Project Gotham, just like Gran Turismo!

Having never used one, I cannot tell you how it feels, but it looks just like a normal controller with the middle bit filled in with plastic.

That's nothing like the X-box one.

I think I'll get Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, since my Dreamcast's broken and I can't use the version that I have on it.

Besides, I hear that its even better than the Dreamcast version. I'm especially looking forward to the bit where you can make your chao fight each other. I've been keeping great care of my chao in Sonic Advance, and its become very, very strong. I'm shure it will kick a**! :D
