Yeah, they are battery whores. The joytech thing looks ok, but I'd hoped for a "play and charge" solution. Guess that's unlikely though

Cheers

Will the Wiimote accept rechargeable batteries?

They certainly do in my experience.

Flabio mentioned these in a thread in the Gaming forum:

http://www.usbcell.com/

I've just got hold of a couple of sets - I haven't used them yet, except to charge one set up, but they're going straight in my 360 pad when the current batteries run out. These really appealed to me because I don't like the idea of tethering the pad with a charge cable (and they can also be used in other devices at a pinch, obviously). They're working on triple As too - with a nifty folding usb connector, so I'll probably pick up some of those for my assorted remotes at some point.

7.5h in, the cat, the hawk, the wolf, the dig, the hand, the ape-jumping, the ape-assing, the bumerang bomb...just about to finish the first temple dungeon, ZERUDA rocks!

My daughter persuaded me to spend The Entire Day playing Rayman. God my arms ache after those bloody shut the doors games. The shooty sections are Fantastic, as is the Skydiving.

Here's an Elebits video.

Level 1 - 7 minutes long.

Looks a bit Katamari ish in a way as you tackle the smaller items then move onto the larger, also looks quite manic and fun. Not sure about lastability though, if the levels are quite varied it could be very good.

Watching that makes me think a Wii based chav burglar sim could be fun.

IIRC there's a full edit mode and you can share your own creations through the internet, if the basics in the game work, this could be great...

Christ - do yourselves a favour everyone and skip to 5.25 unless you enjoy being bored to tears.

It does look like a pretty decent sim, mind - and I noticed it was only Â£30 retail in Gamestation.
