Will have to find the horse riding one. My little un will go mad for it. warioware is great fun but only for two hours or so, so don’t buy it but borrow or rent it if you can.

I'll probably build my own DIY rechargable IR transmitter set to replace the Sensor Bar. Ideally, I'd like to get two "broken" Wiimotes and the Nyko rechargable batteries to go with it (since I already have the Nyko recharging dock for my two _working_ Wiimotes), then hack IR transmitter LEDs into the broken Wiimotes. Then, I can charge them on the dock, then place them under the projector screen when I need them. Of course, what are the odds someone would actually try to sell two broken Wiimotes for cheap, right?

People have been using 2 candles to do the same thing. I’ve seen posts on how the Wii sensor bar is just a pair of infrared emitters. People have been using 2 candles to do the same thing.

It's not the same as a high-end LCD TV, but it also didn't cost $3,000+ like an LCD TV. :-) ohmer: The projector we’re using is an Optoma that we were able to pick up for around $400.

Almost makes it worth buying a Wii. I like the projection screen, how much does that setup cost I wonder. Almost makes it worth buying a Wii.
