Hello

I wonder why it will work with the UK X-Box only? Not answering your question, but seemed strange..

I sit about a metre away, whilst i love gadgets, seems a bit pointless for me. Would be good while you're on the toilet, but then dragging the TV in there, would probably make it as inconvineint as putting it on pause

S pads are £25, but this means that you can loose the damned wires.

I got wireless keyboard and mouse from microscrap, and I would almost put money on it, that they'd conflict with the pads!

The microsoft bluetooth keyboard and mosue was terrible apparently. Any other bluetooth device would make it go heywire, and the whole point was you could integrate your phone or pda with the system, however, that rarely if ever worked!

I'm thinking about one of these so I can get the Xbox in my AV stack which is too far away for the standard controller to reach. Anyone got one and have any comments on performance? I presume you can still plug in the Communicator with this?
