1.0 out of 5 stars Barely Works, May 29, 2008

This sensor bar works poorly or not at all. At first I thought it was my remotes but I replaced the batteries and the sensor bar still can't seem to pick them up. Indeed, it appears that the bar has gotten worse over time, and I've only had it for a few days. Unless I'm missing something or am completely jinxed I can only recommend one thing: Do not buy this product.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cheap Piece of Garbage, June 2, 2008

I needed a wireless Wii Sensor Bar and thought this looked promising. My first impression was negative when I noticed it took AAA batteries. Come on, every Wii owner is going to have a stash of AA batteries; do you really need to make me buy AAA?

Beyond that minor issue, I took a look at this sensor bar with a video camera (to "see" the IR lights). I expected it to have more lights on each side than the Wii (which has an impressive 4 individual lights per side) or at least the same number, but to my surprise, it just had two dinky little lights per side and puts out quite a bit less light overall than the standard Wii sensor bar.

I could live with these two drawbacks, but then both IR LEDs on one side stopped working about a month into use. Argh! So now it's useless and, quite literally, a cheap piece of garbage.

This sensor bar never worked and I got exactly what I paid for it, a cheap product.
