I have a very similar situation - and found the 8Gb Official Sandisc XBox stick to be a good solution.

I just got a 360S 250Gb for my plasma/home cinema, which is used mainly for single-player and Assassins Creed/atmosphere games.

I have moved my 60Gb premium to my 22" LCD monitor, which I use either for friends to play simultaniously, or forme to use online if a friend is watching a movie.

I have all my games/addons/saves installed on the 250Gb model, but only my FPS games/addons (and no saves) installed on the 60Gb.

My XBox USB stick has my gamer profile on it, so I simply switch it over to change. If I wanted to load on a game save, it would only take a minute through the memory menu - in fact you could keep it on the USB stick permamently.

Hey

I thought I'd put my gamerpic as my Windows login, as he looks pretty rad.

However the image available at http://avatar.xboxlive.com/avatar/alexjholland/avatarpic-l.pngis only 64x64, so looks blurry.

The only other image is the /body, which is not much higher in the same head area.

Is there anywhere/way I could get a higher resolution image?

If there is a site that displayed them in higher-res I could screen-grab?


Thanks

Balls. Super Mario Bros Wii does not support classic controller, it requires a wiimote..

So back to getting two of those..

That Nyko remote is £36 with the nunchuk. I'd rather pay the extra £9 for the real thing than that ugly one!

The motionplus is not something I'm interested in either as:

A) No Mario games demand it (they are the only Wii games I play) and

B)I'd have to buy it for my existing remotes.

I'm just looking for two cheap AA-powered one that my friends won't complain are too much of a competitive disadvantage when we play Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario Bros.

In fact, considering that, I'm leaning towards just buying four Gamecube controllers.. Saves on the batteries and they're at LEAST as good (if not better) for any of the Mario four-player games?

Here we go. I can get two of these Venom nunchuk/controllers for £40 - half the cost of Official!

Any opinions?

None of my friends own a Wii - even mine is technically my sisters. We are 360 gamers mainly, but I have found the Mario games on the Wii to be excellent fun.

So I'd still like recommendations for decent, cheap wiimotes/nunchucks please!

I just found out about N64 games requiring a controller. I'm quite sure the wiimote/nunchuk combo could accomodate, if they wanted it to!

Would these do that job?

Hey

I have a Wii I've started using more when friends come round.

We've been playing Super Smash Bros, I'm looking forward to getting Super Mario Bros Wii - and I am looking to build a collection of N64 titles from Virtual Console.

We have two official remotes/nunchucks, but I don't fancy spending £90 getting another two. AlthoughI normally like official products, I can justify going budget for occassional 3rd and 4th guests when there is such a massive price difference.

I saw Argos do a remote/nunchuk pair for £20. What do you guys recommend for a decent remote/nunchuck pair?

Also, if I want to play N64 games - is a remote/nunchuk pair ok?

I must say, Nintendo are as good at Apple at forcing you to buy accessories!

Thanks
