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.

Wicked, the only one's I haven't got are Mario Party 4 and Eternal Darkness so I think I may go for Mario Party (though ED would get me more online points).

So these games are PAL yes?

And have you ordered from them before? How fast is delivery if so?

It's great - I got it a few months back on import. The analogue stick is slightly better - it's got more of a rubbery coating for a better grip. The WB works from a surprisingly long way - a got my mate to run outside my flat, go down the stairs and onto thge road and then I told him to unpause the game we'd loaded and it still worked! It must have been a good 25-30 metres away.
Oh, it's also excellent for those games when you're always handing the pad over to your mates.

One more thing, don't buy it from Dixons - buy it from www.DVDCraze.com
They're based in Australia but the Wavebirds are only £15!! hey're doing a special offer - a game and a Wavebird for £40. You can't argue with that, can you?

It smells crap as well.

It's yeast or some kind of crap. I reckon it's more likely out Mr Marmites mothers arm pits.
