Support NeoGAF

[iapetus]

While on the phone to XBox technical support, the hold message was a woman trying to be enthusiastic about the XBox 360 hardware. One of the things she gushed about was the fact that I could control my XBox from up to 30' away.

Has anyone who isn't Bill Gates ever actually felt the need to control their consoles from 30' away? What sort of size TV makes this worthwhile (other than Frank's 2000' TV, obviously)...

I control my 360 from the kitchen alot. I guess that would be like 15-20 feet away. I can get up and get a beer without stopping my game.

When I have to go to the bathroom I can take the controller/headset with me and still talk to the people I'm playing with.

30' FTW

Yeah, but can you voice chat with people while taking a dump with the Wavebird? That's what I thought.

I did that before with my friend. When I flushed the toilet, my friend was like "WTF, are you in the bathroom?!"

It gave everyone we were playing online with a good laugh

I don't think MS is that crass about it... you have to admit, they have tweaked it beyond what was previously considered impossible. Voice chat and rumble w/minimal battery drain.

the thing i like the most is being able to turn on and off the system without getting up. LAZY FTW

Combine that with my solution to dskillzhtown's problem (a beer fridge next to the sofa) and you're in gaming nirvana...
