As Back to the Future DVD box set isn't going to be released here for a while now, I've had to change my ideas about what I want for my birthday from my good lady wife.
I was informed that you can get import Wavebirds for under £30, so I thought I'd ask her to get me one of those instead, as in my house it would sure come in handy.
As some of you know, I have two young children. Malibu will be 3 soon, Georgia is 1 and a half. If I play games during the day, the often trip over the controller lead. This is annoying. Wavebird will fix this.
However, I see problems with the Wavebird too. What happens when I leave it on the side, and Georgia picks it up? She'll hide it. A regular controller won't go any further than what it's plugged into, so they're safe, but how long before I misplace a Wavebird?
Still, I reckon it would be nice to have one.

meka - if your daughters going to hide it you could :
1) play hide and seek with her , make her hide just after you've finished playing , then just go somewhere , and because she's only little she'll most likely stay there all day.
2) buy one of those things that when you whistle the beep and flash , get some sticky pads , stick it on the back andthen when she does hide it you will be able to find it , unless she's burried it in the garden or thrown it out the window.
3) dis-own your daughter and send her to a wavebird making place so she can send you many free wavebirds for FREE ! (i dont recomend this ,as she might break a nail)

Hm, I know how to solve this problem.
Put it somewhere high. Like on top of a big cupboard or something. Just remember when you put it.
They should some sort of losey device on it. Like when you whistle it bleeps and makes noises and stuff so you know where it is.
Ah maybe one day they'll listen to me..

When I was in America recently I picked a Wavebird up for about £22, a lot cheaper than most of the import shops charge :D
Anyway, even if you don't have much of a problem with tangled wires, it still comes in very handy...plus the no rumble is sort of a bonus ;)

I got bloody sick of the thing after about a week of Lylat Wars.

I agree that when used badly, it can really be annoying!
But you use it correctly and it's a great feature for the game.
Personally, I find that the XBOX controllers have got the best rumble features in them. They've got a vibration one and another that just wobbles the whole controller. Used on Halo it is amazing, the vibrations when using the machine gun. The big fat wobbles when you use the rocket launcher.
Personally, I prefer to have the feature!

I'd get one as well, but i can't afford it.
I'd get one, only I've already got 4 pads.
Unless you like that sort of thing.
Ahem.
Ahem.
