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.

wavebird has a 2xAA battery life of over 100 hours and works from an incredibly long distance away. but te port you plug in the controller socket looks crap.
