resident evil took 7 days , and no import tax or anything.

they wait 5 days though before dispatching so technically it took 13 days.

i ordered my wavebird last night and so it should come next friday.

and for £24.95

£49.99 is an absolute stich up price, only a melon would pay that much.

I'd prefer to buy if from a shop that'll actually honour the guarantee. Besides, I wanted to get rid of some rubbish games and I've got mine straight away, no waiting for anyone to send it from halfway around the world or having to pay customs if I get unlucky.

It will probably take about a week although it may take up to 2. You shouldn't have to pay import tax unless you are pretty unlucky, and the customs man is in a bad mood.

You can get it brand new off Ebay for about £32. Or like Ortega said, from DVDboxoffice.

Yeah. i got a wavebird impoterd the other dya and it is absolutely amazing.
It is not as sticky and slippery as the officaial controller. Its made of like a much mored urable material aswell becasue it is more likely to take bumps and knocks. i was using it round my mates house and his dog jumpe don him whilst he was using it and he accidentally let it go. It hit a wall and didnt even scratch!
It is an awesome peice of kit and i still cant get my head round how it works! radio waves or something.
i cant wait till some differnt colours ocme out. then im gonna get four! so me and my mates can play in my bunk bed!

that would be me ;) i went down stairs and outside pressing all the buttons and my bro said that my character on smash bros was still jumping all over the place !

and dvdboxoffice IS the best place to import stuff from , it's just so cheap ! and you wont get charged import tax on a control (i never have) and postage is free worldwide.
