the colour of the WAvebird is great!

Yes I'd prefer black, but it isn't the same as the N64 controllers.

It's nice and shinnnyyyyyyy :D

I won't get a wavebird because I've never been at all annoyed by the controller wire

I won't be getting any Wavebird controllers for the simple reason that I'm partially sighted; therefore needing to sit close to the television, which renders a cordless controller absolutely useless.

you gotta think of the difficulty with getting rumble messages to the control , the little reciever would have to be recieving signals to do the stuff on the screen, and at the same time it would have to be sending signals back to make the control rumble, it's probably possible , but then the control would be more expensive. Rumble isn't that good anyway , and if you do have rumble on in every game you play , then you get things wrong with you. I heard of this kid that got some kind of arthrightus in his hand or something , just because he used a control with rumble in.

oh yeah , and i have a wavebird to , and it is superb !! shame it only comes in grey :( i emailed nintendo a few months back and they said that they had no plans of releasing more colours as yet :( damn.

In the packaging it says there is no rumble to conserve battery power.

So it's possible Nintendo may release one with rumble for people who odn't mind changing the batterys more often.

Unlike the rest of you import frenzy people I can actually wait a while longer since I am getting it for christmas. An extra 2 months and 3 days worth wait actually.

Sounds like a fine post to me, many people don't have an imported wavebird and those that do might get a second one.

I'll definatly be getting a Wave Bird, i hear it is excellent yet no rumble feature.
