Did he ever return, no he never returned and his fate is still unknown, may he ride forever beneath the streets of Boston, he's the Skinhead that never returned.

reminds me of Bobby from Sopranos. There's always some weird peripherals for consoles....remember the Steel Battalion controller for xbox...it was like $150

i'm hoping pelican, and mad-catz end up NOT making any wii controllers, due to the cost to build them.

i HATE 3rd part accessories. i'v had the WORST luck with them, and i do not abuse stuff either. They just die on me.

sadly though, they will probably find a way to make it even cheaper than it already is. using weaker plastic, less sensitive buttons, worse battery life, etc...etc.. and junk.

what I'M wondering, is when nintendo, or a 3rd party, is going to make a AA power pack that can fit in the controller, thats rechargeable ( and i'm not talking about recharable batteries you can buy at almost any store ). Cause i'm sure SOMEONE is working on it, to try to rake in cash from the idea.

yeah, USB


what? uh, if my memory serves me correctly, it uses regular 2 AA batteries, and is NOT chargable. ( unless you have rechargeable AA batteries ).

I would love it if they were AA, because then you can just buy rechargable batteries and if your wii mote goes dead just grab some batteries lying around, no down time. Thats what I do with my wireless mice...problem with proprietary batteries is once they go dead your down for 20mins+ until you get some charge in it again.
