2.4GHz Wireless Controller
If you're one to play your Xbox games sprawled out on the couch, legs akimbo and controller wire snagged around you ankle, you might want to consider a 2.4Ghz Wireless Controller from Hip Gear. Then again, maybe not.

If you're one to play your Xbox games sprawled out on the couch, legs akimbo and controller wire snagged around you ankle, you might want to consider a 2.4Ghz Wireless Controller from Hip Gear. Then again, maybe not.

This thing offers no advances in wireless technology, relying instead on the unimpressive, cost-effective 2.4 GHz spectrum of the common cordless phone.

It eats AA batteries like popcorn, 4 at a time.

It's got some cool macro programmability and it's sturdy enough, but it does not accommodate your Xbox Live Communicator headset, which must be tethered to the wireless receiver, which plugs into a controller port on the console. Ergo, pointless.
