Thinking about getting a Wii for my 8yr old (and me:) ) I'm guessing the main unit would need to be near my Denon AVR, so I can have the sound through the Axioms. A little concerned if the control bar will be able to reach below the screen in the PorterPlex? hmmmmmm



The sensor bar's cable is about 10-11ft in length, with 3rd party extension cables in the works. It's been a hotly contested little thing too. Most with "normal" size tv's (say 55" and under) seem to have no issues, but us odd people with big home theaters sometimes have issues.

The wiimote pointer works about 10-12 ft max from the bar (maybe 14-15 if you're really lucky). Now keep in mind that's the POINTER, not the movements of say Wii Sports, all that information is transmitted via bluetooth.

Basically I could write a whole article on the bar alone, but ti's 5:30 AM and I'm sleepy.

Once you get the WIi, set it up yourself, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

If you're still on the fence, or have more questions, you can ask those too

Cheers everyone,
