Problem A) There's no port on the back for using a Wii AV cable forcing you to fish out standard connectors. Sure most people will have some somewhere but not everyone has spares just lying around. Plus if you shelled out for Wii component cables they're a bit useless with this. Minor problem but could have been solved very easily by just extending the Wii AV plug on to the back.
Problemo B) Those Nunchuck cable wraps, those things only look easy to use if you have free space below the stand on either side (hence why the video demonstrated it on a chair). Seems like they'd be annoying to use if you had it on a flat surface (as you're likely to). Again minor problem.
At any rate I'd rather have a regular Wiimote charging stand. My Wii isn't in a place that could easily accommadate something bulky like this and I just wrap my Nunchucks wires around themselves and stick them in the drawer above the Wii.
Also Kotaku, get your tech monkey to work on whatever bit of code is removing blank lines from initial comments. Editing my posts to reinsert them is getting tedious.

It's still kinda dumb, though.

Anyway, that's a pretty awesome device. Looking at what? 50-80 dollars? Not too bad at all really.

The ESA's freedom of speech argument seems silly, given that the CTA ought to have some right to control the advertisements that appear on its vehicles, but I'm not familiar with the legal red tape that most public institutions seem to be cocooned in.

And when did video games fall under the same category as alcohol and tobacco? Did I miss something or is it now the Bureau of ATFVG? Are they now conducting video game raids in Chicago?
I smell another few hundred thousand of Illinois taxpayer money going to lawyers and the ESA.

Actually, the fact that we need to discuss if this is ok or not is one of the main problems why society nowadays villanize violent games this much.
Games HAVE to be treated just like any other media... so if you can't advertise pornographic movies on a bus, you shouldn't advertise M-rated/ Adult Oriented games too.
It's a very simple concept. Public spaces has to be free of adult oriented stuff because children will be around to see it.

Kids aren't fucking ignorant, and seeing a poster of Niko Bellick is NOT going to make a 5 year old shoot his parents.

HYPOCRISY MUCH!?
I need a fucking cigarette, writing about this shit gets me infuriated.

I must wonder if at some point the CTA could claim that having a sign showing some hot lady in a low cut top that says "GRAND THEFT AUTO IV" could, in fact, be considered an ad that condones/suggests/supports stealing cars?
I'm not saying I think it is an at all legit reason, but as the name of the game itself is an illegal act, promoting the game would, in at least some vague screwy terms, also be promoting the act...
Just wait for all of the ads for "Heist" to get pulled when banks everywhere get flooded by robbers...

At the same time, us Chicagoans are here awaiting another fare hike for the most expensive "Public" transit system in the country while learning that the CTA is telling a company that wants to give them millions of dollars in ad revenue to go pound sand. I think I can call that Dramatic Irony because Daley never listens to his audience anyways right?
Rockstar needs to learn that they only way they are going to get their "Lewd" cartoon ads on CTA property is by helping members of CTA's board of directors with their Martha's Vineyard mortgages.
CTA property is indeed not public, the first amendment angle is not going to fly unfortunately. Anyone who thinks that CTA property is "Public" is obviously not a Smoker, Film maker, Skateboarder, Graffiti artist, Musician, Self employed merchant of cheap Chicago memorabilia, Hungry, Thirsty, Tired, Gum chewer, Mother of a hungry newborn, Nudist or in desperate need to perform cunnilingus or fellatio.

But its publicly funded and was publicly voted in. There for the public has the right for demand.

But seriously, every point you made is truth, and its a shame that people in positions of power are too fucking stupid/ignorant to understand this. Whats even more infuriating is that people in positions of power who do think like you, are normally out-shouted in the media, so their opinions aren't heard.
