@Witzbold: The Wii remote charger is the best third party peripheral I've ever seen. Not only do you not have to burn through batteries, you never have to worry about them running out mid-game, and it's a nice place to keep them. Sure it's not perfect (eats up space on one's already overloaded power strip) but I have zero regrets.

I'm also really enjoying their "Perfect Shot" peripheral with Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. They're turning me around on the idea of third-party peripherals (I was always snooty about buying first-party before). I'm curious whether the PSP Charger Grip is any good, because I did get some hand cramps playing it.

@Witzbold: Dude, get rechargeables. They might be twice as much, but the ones I bought more than two years ago are still holding a charge. I've been burning through 'em im Wiimotes, 360 controllers, the GH3 guitar, wireless keyboards and mice all over the place. (Wallclocks? Whatev'.)

Seriously, it pretty much solves the shit out of that problem.

I always said the nunchuck should be wireless! Now it becomes reality, and I'm actually really happy.

The wireless nunchuck will go great with the nyko perfect shot!

I just pray that in games where you use the nunchuck to lob grenades, I don't get too into it and launch the then wireless nunchuck at the TV.

@D00mM4r1n3: Here's some pics of the wireless nunchuck

59.99 for the PS3 wireless controller is ludicrous. It better be a damn perfect controller and it better come out before the DS3 if it wants any chance of success.

The wireless nunchuck sounds great. I'll probably pick one up eventually. I hope the reciever on the Wiimote won't be unsightly.

Not too sure about the controller charger. I prefer taking the batteries out and dropping them in the MS Quick Charge station.

I'm stoked about the Guitar for the ol' Triple. Never had a beef with Nyko so I wouldn't mind picking one up since if I ever decide to get Rock Band, I'll have a compatible guitar for the brother/friend/SO.

@Tonx: I had a Nyko 360 charger that flat-out refused to work. I've tended to avoid Nyko products, but I might give them another shot with the PSP-2000 charger.

Neat. I may pick up the 360 controller chargers. Ive got their charger thing now, and it's great. My only beef is they don't seem to fit well, like they are a bit big... they last a long time though :D (Too bad the controller blinks for low batt at 2 bars of battery >:0)

Already breaking in the newbie eh?

Wish they'd of stuck to a single AA battery for the nunchuck though... we've been stockpiling rechargeable AA's for all the various Nintendo, games, and cameras in the house that use them. Curses!

@ChiltonGaines: if it's a man named tori i feel bad for inwardly criticising his highly derivative thesis theme of 'games and gender' - no girl has ever written about that before...
i kid, some have.

It'll be interesting to see how the button config for the PS3 controller is set up (whether they are raised or flat along the fret board) and if it will work with the PS2 games.

Will it burst into flames like their first version of the 360 cooler? ;D

I kid, I kid.

They make cool stuff. I kinda wanted their Wii remote chargers. Since man batteries are expensive. :x

@ChiltonGaines: Agreed, I have been waiting for such a device to get rid of that cable. Its not a big deal, but having such freedom with the Wiimote it feels gimped to tether it to the nunchuk.

Hey Nyko: make a PS3 controller that includes an extra mini joystick that can be used in lieu of tilting for sixaxis motion, and you will be rich. That tip's a freebie.

@McDung: Au contraire, mon frere. I find Nyko's stuff to be some of the best third party goods on the planet. They seem to be paying particular attention to the needs of the Wii, as well.

Is it just me or does that PS3 controller sound very awesome?
It has vibration! I really want to see a picture of it now.

Only downside is, it's a Nyko...

Aside from the extra cost of more batteries, the wireless Nunchuk sounds delectable. For whatever reason, I sometimes just find the Nunchuk cord utterly bothersome.
