Review summary It's not the perfect controller for Virtual Console games, but the WaveBird remains the best wireless controller for playing older games on the Nintendo Wii. The Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless controller may be the most expensive first-party controller ever, but it's easily the best, too. If you do a lot of movie watching with your PS3, the Sony PlayStation 3 Blu-ray DVD Remote is a nice luxury, but it's not a must-have accessory for the PS3. The Nyko Blu-Wave Infrared Remote is a cheap and easy way to add IR remote compatibility to your PS3, but the inability to power the console on or off is an annoying limitation. Superior customization software makes the Belkin Nostromo n52te a worthwhile choice for fans of PC shooters, but the high price may drive gamers to more affordable alternatives.
