Terrible
A friend of mine brought two of the above items... The snazzy blue lights, the charge station, it all looked so good!

Fast forward six months, the Wii Balance board is used only when drunk to play Football head bouncing thing on, the Wii itself used as a bookshelf end and the charging stations thrown out after 2 days after not charging up anything and Game refusing to accept they sold dodgy gear.

Now that's a waste of nearly £300...

Oh crikey - I hear you!...

I bought one of those piece-of-shit chargers with the blue lights.

It was cheap. It was shite. It knacked up.

But you know what I did? I bought another one. It knacked too.

So now you know - there is such a thing as a 'double-twat'...and it is me.

Meh
We like our Wii but the charging station was a waste of money. The battery capacity is crap and when it runs out, you'll be scrabbling for some AAs anyway. Better to buy decent rechargeables and a decent charger.

It's that Charger thingy that I have. So far on the two occasions I've used the Wii, the batteries HAVE been charged at least. But that's not really much to go. Getting the controller to sit in the damn thing is a bit of a bitch though. It tends to wobble and the slightest twitch and it stops charging. USELESS. Still, they charged me a fiver for it since I was buying a new Wii, so I wasn't shafted for it at least...
