Absolutely THE best video game accessorie I have ever bought to DATE!

I picked up one of these http://www.bestbuy.com/videogames/pr...=969&scat=1116 yesterday and. . . my god. . . it is incredible. There is no delay whatsoever on any game I have tried yet. Fighting games are quick and responsive and driving games keep the precision. I don't think there is any difference. Anyhow just though some of you would like this since it beats adding more clutter with extension cables and those wireless controllers suck. Takes 4C Batteries or uses an ac adapter. Claim is 50 hours+ on the batteries. Hopefully this is true. Anyhow this is the best thing ever since the cord was just ever so short for me and I didn't like having my ps2 sitting out in the middle of the room.

Ya plug in one part into the controller ports, then the other part you plug in the controllers to and let it sit ANYWHERE within a 50' radius. The thing uses 900Mhz frequencies and not ir so you don't even need a direct line of site to it.

Yeah, I think the real merit of this thing is not so much that you can sit anywhere, but the fact that you can get the console out of the middle of the living room. You can keep the console on a shelf next to the TV or something and just deal with the controllers. Now that's cool!

Yep, you controler should still respond the same it has before, rumble and all. I wish they had this for the Game Cube. I rather buy that than replacing all my old controlers with the wavebird...

Yep, rumbles just like if it were connected directly. Like I said you don't realize its wireless, if I was blindfolded somehow from the controller connection I would not be able to tell.
