Guest Confucious Posted May 24, 2005 Report Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) Had this for a couple days now...very cool little gizmo ;) Expect a review soon ;) It had better be at that price! To spend over fifty squid on a gamepad you've got to be a pretty serious gamer - I think I'll give this one a miss although I'm sure others will find it useful. Edited May 24, 2005 by Confucious

Guest muff Posted May 26, 2005 Report Posted May 26, 2005 the question will be wether or not people actually buy it as a games maker you can't really assume that people have the thing either - that's always a problem with external devices
