Pros: holy shit I don't have to buy batteries anymore, comes with two rechargable battery packs, takes 3 hours to recharge, can be charged with the entire remote, with the jacket, alone, or with the MotionPlus
Cons: Ten dollars more than the nyko charger, the battery pack and enclosure are one piece, making the controller impossible to sync to another Wii

Is there a better and cheaper wiimote charger? Or is this the best? =o
NOPE.

"making the controller impossible to sync to another Wii"

Do you find yourself taking your own Wiimote to friends' places often? If you do, I find this point pretty crippling :x

no its not worth it because the wii itself is a complete waste of money

I agree, it's a really good idea if your Wiimotes are pretty stationary.

Homebrew makes a Wii at least 10x more attractive. Cute

yes, it does
mine is LOADED with homebrew
but even then, I still haven't touched it in forever

it's just not appealing to me anymore :/
the huge lack of good games just sort of killed it for me

Mario Galaxy sucked, 2 will probably suck just as bad.
I have one of these except it has 4 ports, and it cost around the same amount of money iirc.

I haven't touched my Wii in a while either. I did start playing my N64 again recently.

i have one and it doesnt make it incompatible with other wiis (mine's a different brand though..)

Yea they're not bad. Good if you actually play with your wii. Dont know why they dont come with a charger though like PS3...
