Fake Wiimotes

To make the system work you obviously need a Wiimote (more correctly called a Nintendo remote controller). You can buy a genuine one from any electronics retailer for around $100nzd ($48usd) and sometimes a little cheaper on special. However, people are always looking for a bargin and several 'unofficial' brands are available at a reduced price.

Well, our advice is not to waste your money on the fakes. Have a look at this thread from the Wiimote Project http://www.wiimoteproject.com/annoucements/fake-wimotes-be-warned/ .
The consensus is to stay clear of them. This is a key reason why 3Pi took the trouble to become authorised resellers of genuine Nintendo wiimotes. The performance of the originals is simply better!
