Wavebird goes platinum......in America.

It originally came out in Japan as platinum but now the US shores will get the matching treatment 🙂

The WaveBird, that nifty million-selling wireless GameCube controller, will be available in a new Platinum color starting November 17, with a retail price of $34.99.

Never did like those controllers. There was a little lag to them compared to the wired ones.

Thats strange... I never had that.

Maybe try to use a different frequency, you might be getting interferance.

yeah the only lag i ever had was when you would let the controller sit idle for a while but when you're playing a game that usually never happens. i could actually control my game thru the bathroom wall when i was occupied and taking a seat. i think the next gen of consoles should have wavebird controllers standard with the IR's as the controller ports.

I had similar probelms. I played around with the channel settings and eventually got rid of it. I have a wireless router and and cordless phone and they were all stepping on each other.

Are you sure that's what it was?
I'm almost certain that they would all operate on different frequencies.

All I know is, I had no problems until I got those 2 devices. And then, by changing channels, I solved it. Could be a coincidence, though.
