I've always been happy with ye olde fashioned pad extension cables me, I
never even bothered with a Wavebird for my Cube. Until a machine releases
with them as standard, I'll stay with extension cables personally. I usually
trap the cable somewhere between me and the console, to avoid the old broken
ports/cables snagging moments - which I've never done yet anyway. I don't
know why they've not really appealed......weird that, just never paid them
much thought I guess. When I'm wrapped up in a game, I forget about the fact
there's a cable connected to my controller (forget about the controller too,
if the game's good)
Perhaps on the next round of consoles, I'll catch up with all you young pups
and yer new fangled thingamajigs.
