    yeah microsoft has "issues" with people making wireless stuff if they can't profit from it

    Play games, not platforms

    I actually think that Pantsula has the right argument there. The latency "advantage" is what the Razer PR machine is spinning, but it's the licensing issue that stopped them from going wireless - so I agree. I still want one for my PC though!!!!

    Now there's a thought. I've been looking for something to make playing Batman: Arkham Asylum better.

    But dude, you can use a current XBOX 360 controller with your PC - for ages now already? You just buy a USB wireless receiver for your PC. That's the ONLY thing I play Batman with on my PC - even my flight SIMS - it rocks

    Sorry - it has to be the Microsoft XBOX Wireless Controller receiver. It's not that expensive though.

    I like it, I reckon I might get me one of those. I like the grey buttons.
