Wireless Wii sensor bar available

Tired of all the wires uglifying your sweet console setup, but unwilling (or unable) to mod it, build one from scratch, or make do with cheap alternatives? You’re in luck, as someone has built wireless Wii sensor bars, and is selling them for $24.99 (plus $5.99 shipping and handling). They claim it will run for 48 hours on one 9V battery, and it can be turned off to conserve battery life. It also has the same range as the wired sensor bar. It seems as though the site was set up just to sell this one device. If anyone is brave enough to buy this, let us know how it goes! — Mike Payne
