Keep watching for a deal on ebay - that's where I bought my first two controllers.  You could also try pleading for help from a member living in Japan or go through one of Yahoo Japan deputy services.

Will do.  Thanks.  8)

But you have to buy the receivers separately?

You just have to buy one receiver; the wireless tap. It usually sells for around 100 to 120 boxed and comes with one wireless pad. You can connect up to five wireless pads to the receiver. You set the controller number via a switch on the pad. Its pretty cool, I'm sure that you'd enjoy them  8)

You will have to play around with placement of the receiver since it is finnicky about signal. Everyone holds a pad differently so I can't help you here.

Personally I hold pads at a tilted angle so positioning the receiver above the TV is like pure gold for me.

This setup is not for people who are animated with their control pads and flail about while they play.

Haha. Yeah I love watching people who play like that. Especially racing games. I have a friend who almost falls out of his chair while playing racing games.  :lol: I barely move at all when I play games. To the point where my legs sometimes fall asleep. lol

I like to administer a little Rohypnol to settle down the ladies when they start to flail about..... wait, what are we talking about again?

Adding PCE console specific layer on top of that, makes for an interesting challenge (no, not a reference to Ys II).

 :) Well I still have that sound issue, but I don't think a full cup of hot coffee would have solved that problem. heh
