"Call Me Stupid But..."

I never knew the Wavebird was released.

When did this happen?!?

It's just I noticed whilst in Dixons today and I said to my Mum "You gotta get me one of these".

"But you have three controllers" she said.

"Yes, and what is that open slot for?...the Wavebird"

"It's 35 quid!" she moaned.

"But it's a 'Wavebird' Mum".

So I explained to her what it was and she is probably going to get me one for Christmas. Wicked :-D

Then I remembered that it hasn't got a rumble feature and needs batterys. So I was just wondering if anyone owned the controller and could give me some feedback on it. Is it's worth it, How good is the battery life bla bla bla.

In other news, throughout a whole big shopping centre (the biggest in Essex) not one retailer had ANY GameCube pre-owned games. They had stacks of PS2 and Xbox ones though. Is this because noone is buying them? Or maybe because they are so great they don't get traded?

I leave you to decide (and anwser my question if you own the Wavebird).

Danke.

The stupid people in Witney haven't even bothered to order any so i had to get one from Amazon.co.uk. I checked in my local Dixons, WHSmith, and Woolworths. they haven't got them yet.

Not as much as Chips loves Canadia eh?

Ha ha eh.

:D

Did your relatives send it over, as a little piece of home to keep remind you of your fatherland?

*Calls him stupid*

Don't worry they are very good despite not having a rumble feature.

They rule. I imported mine from Canada in August, have been playing constantly and haven't needed to change the batteries yet. The rumble-less feature doens't bother me- I normally tunr it off anyway.


If buying batteries every six months is a problem, get some rechargeable ones.

:D
