hi guys, got a question for you

im thinking of buying a wavebird, but i cant find any for a decent price over here, but i can import one for half the price from canada, now with me having a pal system, do i have any risk of the canadian wavebird not working in my pal system?

just wanting to make sure

I wouldn't think so. As long as your air is the same as Canada's it should work. ;P

hehe i wouldnt know about that

i doubt we got as much pine scent over here

anyway, i figure it should work allright, just asking to be sure

im a tad peeved about the pal/ntsc thing though, the site i use is cheap as fuck compared to here, so i would love to get some games, but i dont feel like getting an import cube or using a freeloader

I was skeptical about the wavebird before I bought one, maily because they were bulkier than the originals, but ever since I got one I must say the wavebirds>the originals.

The only reason I cannot get a Wavebird for the Gamecube is because of the lack of rumble support. With games like Metal Gear Solid, rumble is pretty much a necessity.

Wow, Wavebird doesn't have rumble support?

No wire = No Rumble = Buy batteries every week

Dude, if the Logitech Wireless PS2 controllers can pull off 30 hours with rumble, the Wavebird should easily be able to as well.

You're in for a shock when you pick up the PSThwii-siddy controller then...

well i ordered it last night, probably wont be here untill monday though

anyway, im probably not that bothered by the lack of rumble, i still got four wired pads, so if i absolutely need it, ill use one of them

Canada is NTSC also. So as long as NTSC works with a PAL GC system, you are fine.

i'd imagine the only difference between ntsc and pal would be in the video. it would be the easiest and cheapest way to do it.

Have you ever used a Logitech wireless controller? The Xbox one is infinitely better than the official controller. And the PS2 one is the greatest controller ever created.

Japanese PS2 Controllers totally don't work like that.

I don't play my Gamecube a whole lot, but in the long time I've had the thing (4 years or so? jeez, it's been a while...) I've replaced the batteries twice. The first time, they weren't dead, but I needed batteries for another device and I just put new batteries into the Wavebird when I got more. The other time, it was getting laggy playing Super Smash Bros., but it wasn't dead yet.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Logitech Wireless Xbox controller requires you to push incredibly hard on the buttons -- making it hard as hell to acclimate to for say, Halo 2 -- I'd agree with you. In essence, the Xbox 360 Wireless Pad is almost identical in form to the Logitech pad for the original Xbox, except you don't have to drill on the buttons.

The PS2 Logitech Wireless pad (the original; not the cheap re-release) shits all over the Dual Shock.

And, by the way Vlame, all Logitech products for PS2/Xbox are officially licensed peripherals.
