Okay so I can put all my controllers away in their boxes, except the Wavebird, and only bring them out for multi-player. So I have no wires. I can lay in bed playing games, and when I've finished use the remote to turn the T.V off.

The problem is, when I finish at 5am or whatever, I still have to get out of bed to turn the Gamecube off, rendering half the purpose of the Wavebird useless.

Bah.

I think I'm going to invest in a long stick.

Use my strategy - just leave it on :). Sure, by a few days some of the innards may have melted, but hur hur hur, us lazy sods can be pleased :)

And I want that lovely blue GameCube thingy made (can't remember his name :#)

That and theres no rumble feature which sooner or later games will make that very useful indeed.

Try moving the gamecube closer to you or something.
