Now let's wait for GM to tell us it's fake.

wireless controllers = bad. but as long as i can still plug normal ones in with a wire like they should be then all is good and i dont care if it includes wireless.

Controller = same design, GREAT! i hope the final version remails like that.

adding trigger button, i dont see the need, but cant really complain about a new button, im sure it'll have a use in some games.

and IMS sounds good.

I'm sure that the wireless controllers will come with cradles to recharge them. but other than that wireless controllers can be a hassle at times.

I need to see a picture of this....this was in a page of it's own, but only spawned pictures of Playstation glorified characters..... Poo to them

I beg to differ, kind Sir. I've had great experience with my Wavebirds. The battery lasts forever and the responce is just as quick as plugged controller. I actually prefer the feel of the Wavebird as its shape differs slightly from the corded controllers.

Perhaps you invested your money in a wireless controller that didn't bear the Official Nintendo Seal of Quality?

your right, i didnt

well. unless nintendos wavebird has that seal. does it?

anywho, wireless sucks. wireless mice suck, wireless keyboards suck, and wireless controllers suck. i mean where exactly do you need to go with them?

the repsonce time isnt actually as good as one with a wire, you just dont notice the difference. doesnt mean there isnt one.

and even though batteries last a while, thats still more then i'd have to spend with no batteries at all. one with a recharge station would be better, but still un needed. add a longer wire and thats better then ANY wireless controller.

wireless = teh suk

But it sounds good overall.

is it hard for them to program surround sound? different sound coming out of each speaker? pretty much the same idea behind them.

I agree with the wireless keyboards and mice. Although it might be nice if you have one of those media PCs in your family room. If they didn't require batteries, I'd probably use them.

But I've concluded that using a Wavebird actually saves a consumer money. Because old fashioned corded controllers actually use more electricity than the consoles do.

you might be correct if you pluged the controller directly into the wall, but once the console is on, it sucks in the same amount of power no matter what you got plugged into it. its not going to suddenly use more voltage cuz of a controller.

Also even if that were the case, you'd still be spending more with a wireless because you have to spend on batteries, then the electricity used to power the reciever you plug into the console.

(but as i said, uses the same amount of power)

I suppose that might be true...

But might I remind you that corded controllers are a general safety hazard. 40% of all tripping related accidents in homes that contain video games are caused by corded controllers. That figure was cut down to a mere 5% once Nintendo introduced the Wavebird.

I'm not here to publicly mock you, I'm just offering you some points to consider and think about tonight before you go to sleep.

Well you can't completely rule out Wireless technology considering the next-gen will rely heavily on it. (WiFi, Bluetooth)

Wireless controllers are good for untangled game stations and reach. But then the battery thing still remains, and if solved by recharge stations, then I see no other problems with wireless.

I mean, do you use a cellphone Null? Thats wireless eh? LOL
