Is it any heavier than a normal pad?
Does it have vibration?
(If not) do you even realise?
Does it come in any other colours?
That is all.

OR, now get this:
just cut all the wiresoff your old controllers, and use THEM.
I am surely the inventor of the century.

I have a cunning plan ....
Get the Logic 3 PS2 pad, so I can use it on my PS2 (duh) then get the controller converter thingy so you can use PS2 controllers on a GC.
Go me.
*Dances*

Yeah, I saw that Logic3 XB pad - it looks pretty sweet.
I'll probably wait out a bit to see if they do a GC one - here's hoping it'll look nice.
Cheers for all that guys.

You dont want rumble in a wireless, it destroys battery life!!!! Thats why wireless controllers previous to the WaveBird failed miserably. The motor would drain batteries far too quickly.

Why bother? Compared to Nintendo quality it will pale in comparison, rumble feature or not.

I would not let rumble be a deciding factor in getting this controller, unless you're a rumble nut and really love it. Zelda is best played with the rumble feature agreed, but other than that, you really wont miss it.
I'm fine with cables. It doesn't really bother me.
And the rumble when used properly is great. On Zelda, when you're in the barrel trying to sneak past the guards. If they see you, there's the dodgy noise and the controller rumbles suddenly.
It's a great effect of making you jump in an edgy situation.
I prefer rmble.

This is THE best piece of hardware innovation in gaming for years. Every GC owner should have at least one. Buy one and you'll be impressed.
Not having rumble feature won't bother you at all, that novelty wears off. The fact that it's Wireless is a far bigger plus. This things works through walls, tables, people... i even stand in my garden it works (not that i play from there. I think IGN reported it works from 90ft. Also, there is absolute no lag and you can point the controller in any direction.
The batteries last quite a long time. I've not had mine very long (only one month) but i hear it does last a few months even if you play regularly.
And like the previous post, they do Platinum on import. It will cost you around the same even if you import (due to stupid UK prices), so i went for platinum - only £30.
Anyway, like i said, you should have at least on one of these, though you'll probably end up fighting over who should have it when it comes to multi-player mayhem.

About the same, possibly very marginally lighter

No (and hence why no extra weight)

Personally, I hate vibration pap, when I used regular controllers I used to turn it off anyway, so for me it's perfect. Just my opinion though.
If you want to work it out for yourself, you could try turning vibration off and see if you miss it.

They do platinum in japan, try lik-sang.com , play-asia.com . Not a big deal, unless maybe you have a platinum cube and are into your coordination...
Batteries: You get a good few months. I probably have to change them once every 6 months (2 x AA).

When I go to the shop to buy a wavebird I look at the wavebird and then I see a gamecube game and I'd prefer to buy that so I doubt I'll ever get a wavebird.
